Eastenders Last Night

Recommended Posts

I was informed just before it started last night that it was going to be a show where everyone in it would be black for just one episode. Why couldn't they have just gone and done it without announcing that? By announcing it they leave the door open for people to ask if there will be a "white only" show soon and what the merits would be to either scenario.

 

My own personal thought is that it didn't need to happen but it will be yet again considered totally acceptable to do this for a minority group but God forbid you do it the other way.

They have done that already, when Dot was in a whole episode on her own.

If by that you mean that a big 'thing' is made of it rather then letting people get on and watch the episode I agree. It's rediculous self gratifying sh*t the way organisations can come over as holier then thou just because they have played an equality card.

I don't watch the show but maybe they should now do a "white only" episode to see the reaction.

I like Eastenders but I completely switched off after five minutes yesterday. The whole programme was a farce. Who gives a feck about friggin Patrick and his sham of a family, to bring up story lines from over 50 years ago is ludicrous and desperate. The script writers should be shot. If they have anymore black attack episodes like yesterday I can't say I will be watching it for much longer. Political correctness gone mad.

Yes, I agree. It is so rare to see programmes where the entire cast is white nowadays. When we will see an all white programme? This country really has gone to the dogs. Bloody PC loony left BBC b*llocks.

 

I think you are somewhat missing the point. If I was watching an episode of Roots and getting engrossed in the abolition of slavery and how black families struggled against the wrongful system, I would fully expect to see many blacks in the TV programme and I would not be at all surprised to see an episode featuring an entirely black cast. If one week they slipped it out into the public domain that this week would be an entirely white cast and they all sat around discussing "white problems" for the entire programme, I would be scratching my head in pretty much the same manner I was at the ludicrous Eastenders episode.

Yes, this would be the same, as Eastenders is a show about white people and white people's issues.

 

I only get three posts, so I'm not wasting one of them to point out that miserableoldgit is indeed a stupid, stupid ****.

No it isn't a show about white people or white peoples issues. Neither is it a programme about black peoples issues from half a centry ago, although this ticks many more boxes in PC Britain so becomes justified.

It amazes me that nobody can see the irony here. People are jumping up and down about perceived rascism in case some people are offended, but feel free to call me, a person that they don`t know and who`s actual views they have no idea about "a rascist ****" and "a stupid, stupid ****" and think that THAT`S NOT offensive! I have posted nothing remotely rascist (please check) and am most certainly not a rascist. I am, however,

a great believer in freedom of speech and the ability to discuss and sensibly debate ANY subject. I know that this will not enough for some of the small minded inverted bigots on here so just to make you wet your pants, I am a homophobic, rascist paedophile who eats fluffy kittens for breakfast. There - is that better?

Who gives a flying ****? The only people who will get offended by this are racists and no-one (should) care what they think.

I suppose what I am really trying to say is I hate the way organisations (BBC is typical of this) feel too scared to tell minority groups that they are not interested. There seems to be a compulsion to "play ball" with every single minority group in case it rears up and gives you a good kicking. The exact opposite seems to be the case from majority groups.

 

If I was a black, lesbian, amputee, single mother with a runny nose I would get the world on a stick.

I think you are missing the point. Tne point being that there are a lot of black people who live in east London and that they have a history that is relevant to British society.

Highlight one post on this thread where you have been called racist, you stupid spastic. You're the one who brought up the racist issue. C*nt.

This obviously doesn`t include you.

How very decent of you not to comment on your racist and offensive email.

 

Stupid c*nt.

You claimed that you were called racist on this thread. You haven't. You have been called a stupid c*nt.

 

You now claim you were refering to another thread. Fair enough, even if this were true you were not called racist on that thread either. Read it back and I say that the email is racist, but seeing as you never wrote it you can't be racist can you?

 

Just stupid.

 

And a c*nt.

I watched the show, and they touched on some issues in that show that were quite delicate. Like the Notting Hill Riots in the fifties. I know they happened a long time ago, but I doubt that Ian Beale would be the best person to have to explain all that.

 

Strange that the film Notting Hill was "white only".

I am stupid? Is my only response to people to call them c**ts and spastics? It seems to to be your standard response. I won`t go into my level of intelligence or yours as you seem to be doing a very good job of displaying it with your use of insults and inability to take part in any form of civilized debate. I have never had course to use the "Ignore" option on this forum but I am sure that you will be "honoured" to be my first. Now get back to your little life.

In fairness it was very, very funny.
