They do have specific rules about panels, particularly on BBC where they have to have a certain quota of each demographic. They also have representation requirements for disability and sexuality. If they have to find someone to meet quotas but they wouldn't have been first choice then they is by definition box ticking.Why does it have to be a box ticking exercise if someone happens to appear on TV who isn’t a white British man?
Can’t people just accept that’s comedy, some people will clearly find her funny, and others don’t
People like Jimmy Carr massively split opinion, some love him, most probably hate him. But no one is claiming he is appearing on TV as a box ticking exercise
Nano has answered this pretty well but I’ll add that it has nothing to do with liking or disliking the person in question. I think most would agree that representation is important but it should not be to the detriment of the show. Taskmaster is a show that does it very well. Most here have acknowledged that Rosie is funny and has talent but doesn’t fit the type of show she often appears on.Why does it have to be a box ticking exercise if someone happens to appear on TV who isn’t a white British man?

For the people who don't like her, do you not like her because its hard to understand her and it takes a while for her to tell a joke? I wouldn't say she's my favourite comedian but I think she's funny, and tells jokes about disability in a funny way that's not disrespectful.
Is brilliant I’d love to see him live
It's an awful way to speak about someone but seems to have become very common unfortunately.Why does it have to be a box ticking exercise if someone happens to appear on TV who isn’t a white British man?
