      I thought they would have had their generic Asian of Indian origin shopkeeper who they would have killed off due to changing village life with longer store opening hours.

      And the gardener would have been Irish or Polish - would get accused of being a criminal and been killed off.

      Plus they would have had their Traveller thieves/burglars who again someone could have killed.

      Then there are your Eastern European i.e. Bulgarian, Lithuanian farm workers who are seasonal - a few of them could of been killed off in an farm accident.

      See lots of ethnic minorities could fit in perfectly in the village - the only problem they would all end up dead.

          Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

            Ethnic diversity in the UK stops at the city limits. Even in northern urban areas like Rochdale, Oldham, Bolton which are close to the country side, you can see the difference as soon as you leave the urban area.

              According to the Guardian, he's been suspended:

              Personally, I love the Murders, not that I'd admit it in fornt of the "in crowd". It's my guilty pleasure.

              Now I guess he'll be off to diversity gulag & they'll hire an ex-producer of Eastenders to take his place.
              Just like they did on The Archers & people will be switching off in their droves.

                Nearest I have ever got to watching it is when it's on the screens at the gym. Given the choice I prefer the machine in front of a screen with Cbeebies.

                  If anything it should be the Eastenders producers getting the criticism, there are far too many white people in that show.

                  Yet they pick on a show which has a fairly true reflection of the setting.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
