I don’t get it.
Why would the Beeb pay to produce it?
Why not buy it from Bollywood. It would surely be less expensive.
But what the heck, eh? Geezers are about to lose their boob tube tax exemption. Life is good again. The Beeb will be rolling in other people’s money. It will have more cash to burn.
I just watched the trailer. It looks terrible.
Of course I don’t care for love stories, or India.
Why do some people of color act like they are the only color that matters?
They’re no better than anyone else!
Hollywood can exclude white writers, actors, film crews and directors but they cannot FORCE people to watch the nonsense they then create. It is probably the best thing to happen in Hollywood...its suicide.
Filmed entirely in India.
No obvious Black or Hispanic actors.
Racist.
Why should I enrich the BBC? I’d rather watch Bollywood straight from India. I’m sure they are less “woke” there, and if it helps to hurt Hollywood, it’s great!
Ah, but does the production meet the proper percentages of LGBTQXYZ? On camera AND behind? Who is doing the certification? Have they purchased the sufficient carbon credits to offset the killing of electrons? Do they include the minority religions?
So many standards, so little time.
Not interested in junk, in fact I just canceled Showtime because of all their liberal trash.
... first in the corporation’s history to have a cast entirely made up of people of colour.

And so the trend continues. Racism is bad, unless it is good racism. Discrimination is bad, unless it is good discrimination.
In the early days of Hollywood they would make movies with the cast all being “ people of color”. These were made for theaters in the south that were for “colored people” only.
Just when you think we are making progress we fall back into tribalism.
The program will most likely be successful since there is a large population from India in the United Kingdom.
Nope. Not listening to filthy Indian Bollywood ‘musicals’. Stuff was annoying as hell when I was stuck in Dubai.
People of color. So, they have white, yellow, brown and red cast members?
Vikram Seth is a very good author.
I’m surprised we wasted the board space...
