What fantastic news to begin 2024!
Fewer than 5% of lead actors in British TV are Black.
The Creative Diversity Network has interviewed over 30,000 individuals, who collectively made over 600,000 contributions to British TV productions broadcast between August 2018 and July 2019. Researchers found that people who identify as Black, East Asian, or other ethnic groups (BAME) are making more contributions onscreen than off-screen. Over the last three years, the overall proportion of onscreen contributions of BAME groups to United Kingdom programs have increased from 21.8 percent to 22.7 percent.
Despite this encouraging result, the survey pointed out that people identifying with Mixed, Black and other ethnic groups are more likely to appear in a supporting, rather than a lead role.
I would encourage you to support black UK actors, tackle structural and systematic racism onscreen and off-screen.
