Multicultural?
All the characters are white in 21st c Britain!
shareThey are in the country, which tend not to be as diverse, so not really that surprising.

There is a young man in their Detectorist club who is Indian.... I don't find the homogeneity surprising, considering that it's set in a small town. You don't see many people at all actually.

they are more diverse than the metal detector club I'm involved in. out of 50 white people i think there is one asian guy.
I thought one of the ladies in the "DMDC was introduced as some sort of non-english speaking person, seemed almost spanish to me. So out of 7 people they have more diversity than many TV shows.
so far I love this show. Have always loved the work of Mackenzie Crook.
another keyboard gangster shooting up the forums! bang bang
the second series is rumoured to contain 2000 Syrian refugees. i bet that'll really make your blood boil over!
Favouries films so far this year:

Yep. In the rural South East, they are. Well observed :-)
shareYeah, apart from the Asian guy, everyone is white.

shareWhy does this ALWAYS have to be an issue for people to constantly complain about in EVERY SINGLE SHOW? Can people not just enjoy viewing a well written and acted show/series anymore without bitiching and moaning that said show is not meeting up with some peoples own diversity/multicultural quota(s)? I mean does it actually take away from the quality of a show like this, or would it even really add anything more to what the show already has? I'd say the answer to both these questions would be a resounding NO.
This show doesn't take place in New York City or London after all.

usually the OP of these type of posts doesent give a shit, they are just attention seeking .
Yep they are, not really a surprise. To be honest it is nice to see a show where the cast is representive of the area they are in.
If it had been set in Brum or the Smoke then yes I would expect a better mix but in rural England nope.

There are people roaming around these boards who like to see if they can get a rise out of people. One way is to ask why there are not a specific minority in the most improbable locales.
Why are there no Africans in this band of Vikings? Where are the Asian lesbians in thee story about a nunnery?
One was asking awhile back why there were no blacks in the scenes of Downton Abbey. Its a rural estate from before WWI to 1925. Some of the people living and working on the estate have been there since Waterloo. That's why.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else
