They suggest that the presentation of immigration and the black lawyer to be the promotion of left wing ideologies.

- 'The last 20 minutes contained no plot' - I do agree with this that the ending was a bit useless in the way that there was no real meaning to it or need of it being there. Maybe they just needed something to cover up some more time for the drama.
- 'But that concept went nowhere' - The concept spoken about here is the one about the crime that was occurring on the street where a mysterious man went round at night taking pictures of the houses and sending house owners a postcard of their house with the words: 'we want what you have'. This concept was great but after the fist episode, the whole story line seemed to have moved onto something much more boring and less relevant to the original concept.
- 'Everything British came in for a dose of loathing' - For this quote, I agree to a certain extent. I do believe that a lot of London was not presented particularly pleasant whether it was the place or person. London is shown as quite dangerous to have illegal immigrants as police officers, criminals roaming at night and then sort of threatening house owners etc. As for the people, Roger is clearly a clueless man who earns significantly more than most of the world which shows the inequality within London. However, I believe that by having the Kamal family in the drama, the balance between good and bad evens out a bit as it shows the diversity within London and how other ethnicity and religious are able to fit in quite well with the rest of the public.

Roger is a key example of showing left wing ideologies especially in there scene where he states: 'what use is 30 grand to anyone?'.

The idea that people work hard for their money is reinforced in the drama when the worker comes in for the meeting with roger and the boss in which shows the detail of research and work.After the worker leaves, roger states that the workers work hard all the time and not just around bonus season.
The Beeb, Mail and JKR:
1.
The daily mail pointed out the shameful thought of wanting to sell the rehab centre and food bank it has been said to cause positive impacts in the long term.
2.
The working class/ less wealthy are shown to be much more hard working whereas the higher class and wealthier people are shown to be clueless at what they do which is a sharp contrast between the two.
3.
Some people have said that the BBC takes on more of a right wing point of view in their fictional dramas. Furthermore, the mail has had an article named 'Is the BBC too close with JK Rowling' which hints at the idea of BBC being biased. I personally don't believe this and see BBC as the mid point between left and right wing. They seem informative on both sides of arguments.

Gramsci's theory of hegemony was that audiences are influenced and controlled by a dominant class (usually upper class). They are able to shape the way we perceive things and what we think of as normality in everyday life.
