Why the BBC needs to stand for backing black comedy

There has been no shortage of black talent, and yet no such ensemble vehicle to showcase a new generation.

Bamous review

The sketches between Baptiste's straight-to-camera routines expand on the idea that the media has continuously marginalised or misunderstood black talent, either ignoring it completely or scheduling it after most people have gone to bed.

I talk to Dane Baptiste

"I definitely want Black Britons who have previously felt marginalised or under-represented to watch and feel like they're being represented."

Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 12th January 2021

Bamous review

It's long been a running joke that British TV operates a 'one-in one-out' policy when it comes to allowing black comedians to become famous. But don't blame comics for continuing to crack jokes about waiting for Lenny Henry to die to get their shot, blame the system that means the line is as true today as it ever was.

Bamous, BBC Three, review
