Explanation Required From Daily Mail Fans On Answerbank
Can any of your explain why having a black character and a more prominent female character is going to 'ruin' Bob The Builder???
http://
This is the strange thing...it certainly isn't unusual for building crews to have black electricians, plumbers or carpenters...so why are Daily Mail readers so upset?
Have we got to a point where the portrayal of any black person or woman on TV is now considered 'PC'???

///so why are Daily Mail readers so upset?///
Given that,
\\\The show starts on September 1 on Channel 5's Milkshake children's slot.\\\
It would appear to be just Jemma Buckley who is commenting as it's not been released yet, and nowhere does she mention that she or anyone is upset by it, but I guess you already know that.
Don't let the facts get in the way of an Anti-Black story though will you?

// Bob the Builder is shown in more than thirty countries, and versions are available in English, French, Spanish, Slovenian, German, Italian, Dutch, Hebrew, Hindi and Croatian, among other languages. //
The series is not made by the BBC so it is stupid to blame the Beeb. It is more likely that the changes have been made by the production company with an eye to export sales of the series. They stand a better chance of selling into other countries if they characters are more diverse.

Shouldn't only be asking Daily Mail fans for an explanation, you should be asking Telegraph readers where 7,791 preferred the 1998 Bob against only 296 who preferred 2014's Bob.

You should also be asking the Twitters where the Daily Mail got their reactions from.

Nice try at having a Daily Mail dig, but you have failed miserably.

Do you actually think that the increase of ethnic minority BBC presenters and weather persons, is all down to there suddenly being a surge of them, gaining the job opportunities over the larger proportion of indigenous applicants on merit?
