Black British creators in television report a lack of fundamental opportunities, with conditions reportedly worse now than before the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. Despite recognition for their work, industry professionals like Andy Mundy-Castle express frustration over the ongoing difficulty in securing major commissions. The representation gap remains significant, with only 11% of senior management occupied by people of color. While the industry briefly boomed post-Covid, the aftermath of falling advertising revenues has led to a precarious state for many independent producers, with numerous companies at risk of closure without market improvement.
You are so far removed from the top of the food chain that you just get the scraps; we aren't given the biggest opportunities.
If we look at who still has fundamental control and say as to what we watch and how that's made, it is still disproportionately white people.
