I know that I flagged this up last week, but we just watched the second part of make Bradford British, and would urge anyone reading this to do the same. It is a truly great piece of television, tackling head on thee racial and ethnic stereotypes which seem endemic in british culture. This is a program which asks what it means to be british, and for once finds an answer: britishness is not how one dresses or speaks. Nor is it defined by the colour of ones skin. To be british, this program suggests, is to be tolerant of everyone – it is about mutual respect. It is a simple point, often forgotten today, but for making it this television program has my utmost respect and admiration. Surely such things are what tv was made for.
