Black actors win more TV roles. - Matt Wells

Increase in representation of ethnic minority groups in TV soaps and dramas.
eg Eastenders and Casuality.

However, often present one sided and simplistic picture of Britains racial problems

Lord Ouselet claims "Where are the black and minity ethnic exectutives, directors,commissioning editors, programme makers? Why is it still so white at the top"

Andrea Wonfor - creative director of Granada TV said that it will take time for ethnic minority groups to work at higher level jobs, similar to how it took women time to "rise to the top"
