Many would say that it doesn't matter what programmes are shown on telly and who appears in them and its all about talent. But that isn't the case. Television has a strong influence on the minds of people and it can affect the way they see things.
Being careful with how the television companies handle their responsibilities is a major issue and one that they do not seem to take seriously so many of them go for what they think the public want to see not understanding that it also works the other way around.
So we end up with many soaps that are unreal. We have The only way is Essex which is dominated by those with blond hair and blue eyes, followed by the totally unreal 'Made in Chelsea' (only watched once must admit..) which suffers from the same problem. Then we have totally unreal soaps from Australia where people in Melbourne which is more than half non Anglo Saxon seem to live in an area where they are all blond again and then again we have Midsummer murder territory where no one with a tan ever gets a role! This is not acceptable or real at all. We live in a multicultural society and telly should reflect that.
