BBC Diversity Criticism
A diversity report calls out the BBC for not featuring enough women and older people, especially on panel and reality shows, though a survey of viewers says they don't care about age portrayal. In regard to racial diversity, British actor David Harewood (who plays David on Homeland) advises young black actors to head to the US because there aren't enough good roles for them in the UK.
