Also, many years ago Eastenders had a black doctor who was represented as upstanding.As for gays and disabled people - can't think of anything really apart from Phoenix Nights!Don't forget stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason! Sorry to be un PC - but it's true - so obviously there will be a little bit of it displayed.  Eg the Irish are thought of as sensitive, emotional, fun loving, prone to singing and dancing (and depression) and are heavy drinkers......Well that just about sums up 2/3 of my relations!!!!!</blockquote>
