I just watched this ,good as usual but i must admit ,it is ridiculous the way the PC crowd  have to portray a black man leading the people in a protest against the govt . and before anyone says i am racist Luther is by far the best detective series on tv ,

Google William Cuffay and the Chartist movement, it may allay your fear of the PC crowd.

Another gem of a tv series from Spud17's new stash.

 

Die Protokollantin (The Typist)

 

Solid crime drama about a woman who sits in on police interrogations and types up transcripts, while

plotting her own personal agenda. 5 episodes with nice big embedded subs.

S2 of Tin Star [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4607112/] is out. 

Top show and I enjoy Tim Roth.

Loved the evil Archibald Cunningham in "Rob Roy."

Possibly accurate, black people were living and working in London during the period.

amazes me posters on here PERSISTANTLY  insist they arnt racist,  yet  CONSTANTLY spend time slating black people/actors  in period dramas/shows, rather than discussing more pertinant  points about the plot acting direction or whatever,  that would or could actually be interesting as opposed to moaning about the colour of an actors skin. which effectively is what they are doing  AND THATS RACIST ,,  ,, unfortunatly ignorant biggoted is as ignorant biggoted does.

Nothing to do with being racist, it would be like having a black actor play George Washington, it would just be historically incorrect.

How is history being changed? William Cuffay was a black man who led protests against the government during Victoria's life. I am sure you will be shocked to find out that the black lady in the posts above is actually Victoria's goddaughter.

You're misinterpretating what's being discussed.

 

It's all the pc nonsense that pervades the media, in an attempt to make everything 'correct & inclusive'.

 

When facts are distorted, which we can all see they weren't in this case, then that's ok.

 

It just boils my pish when facts ie gender/orientation/skin colour or whatever, are deliberately switched, to make 'everthing ok'.

 

I expect in 50 years time, Boris Johnson will be portrayed as a Nigerian transexual, with Tourettes.

Cuffey wasn't exactly anti-trade union, according to Google, but he was anti the prevailing trade union movement which had its roots in utopian socialist philosophy. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Metropolitan Tailor's Charter Association, you could call it a trade union of tailors, and became involved in the Chartist movement (a working class political movement seeking democratic rights for working class people) after he was sacked for participating in a tailor's strike.
At least, according to Google. I wasn't there at the time.....

Watched "Can you ever forgive me" the other night and thought it very average, and IMO that's being kind.......nothing to recommend it and as for Richard E Grant being nominated, well there must be a dearth of those around!
