| Synopsis: | The article investigates how established white television writers - Dennis Potter, Alan Bennett, Alan Bleasdale, Jimmy McGovern, William Nicholson and David Pirie - have incorporated ethnicity-related subject matter in their work ("The Singing Detective", "Cold Lazarus", "Talking Heads", "GBH", "Black Easter", "The March", "Cracker"). The author argues that the productions under discussion double up the central concerns of the drama with ethnic material as metaphor or illustration by including storylines which reflect upon the malaise of the main character(s) or the shortcomings of society or the media. | |
