Gays and ethnic minorities ‘significantly over‑represented’ on TV according to study.

February 28, 2020

Ethnic minorities and gay people are significantly over-represented on British television, according to a study.

Black and ethnic minority (BAME) people account for about 13 per cent of the national workforce but secure 23 per cent of on-screen roles, the statistics show.

Over-representation is particularly stark on drama programmes, where ethnic minority actors win more than a quarter (26.4 per cent) of parts, as well as children’s TV (30.3 per cent) and comedies (24.9 per cent).
