:17:23. > :17:26.One of the front runners to become the next Chair of the BBC Trust has
:17:27. > :17:29.said the programme is "almost twice" as white as the population of the
:17:30. > :17:31.area of east London it's based on. Today the comedian Lenny Henry
:17:32. > :17:33.defended the drama, whilst discussing diversity
:17:34. > :17:44.in broadcasting with MPs. Chris Rogers is in east London now.
:17:45. > :17:50.The creators of EastEnders many years ago got their inspiration from
:17:51. > :17:54.here, Walthamstow and Stratford which is why it is founded in
:17:55. > :17:59.Walford. Both areas, including many in London have become incre`singly
:18:00. > :18:03.multicultural. And as we now report, the BBC Trust highlights a report by
:18:04. > :18:07.the audience Council for England, which suggests that if Albert Square
:18:08. > :18:18.is anything to go by, there are twice as many white people living in
:18:19. > :18:22.fictional E20, as in real life E17. That most recognisable of theme
:18:23. > :18:27.tunes. As soon as you hear ht, you know you are watching EastEnders but
:18:28. > :18:32.how recognise is the east London portrayed in the soap? Do the real
:18:33. > :18:36.EastEnders see any similarities with the one living in the fictional
:18:37. > :18:41.Walford? Culturally diverse, a melting pot. It is not refldcted in
:18:42. > :18:45.EastEnders. It is insulting. It is making out we are all Ronny and
:18:46. > :18:50.Reggie characters. We are not. Look around you. You have every culture
:18:51. > :18:53.you can imagine. There is jtst as many Russians as there is Turkish as
:18:54. > :18:56.many Russians as there is Ttrkish as there is Asian as there is black. So
:18:57. > :19:00.there is no real dominant group. It there is no real dominant group. It
:19:01. > :19:04.is not really reflected in EastEnders, no. This pie and mash
:19:05. > :19:09.shop has been here almost a century. If anyone know house the
:19:10. > :19:14.demographics has changed it's these people. As time has gone on, it used
:19:15. > :19:16.to be very English and mostly EastEnders, but we have all walks of
:19:17. > :19:19.life in here now. And this man life in here now. And this man
:19:20. > :19:24.thinks EastEnders does pretty well. Talking to MPs today, he defended
:19:25. > :19:30.the programme's record in its reflection of black and minority
:19:31. > :19:35.ethnic groups, otherwise known as BAME? . ? I think EastEnders is the
:19:36. > :19:39.most racially diverse onscrden representation of any soap. Over
:19:40. > :19:44.one`third. 38% of white poptlation watch it. And 50% of the BAME
:19:45. > :19:49.population watch T clearly the BBC is not connecting with them at some
:19:50. > :19:54.point but serve that population very well as for as it does for soaps.
:19:55. > :19:58.Full rehearsal, on camera. The BBC says East enners has one of the most
:19:59. > :20:02.diverse casts on British television and it would be draft to suggest the
:20:03. > :20:07.programme needs to be a replica of a particular postcode. For soap people
:20:08. > :20:10.in East 17, though, it is still falling short of the mark. Think
:20:11. > :20:14.EastEnders represents old east EastEnders represents old east
:20:15. > :20:22.London. It is stuck in that period. It could do better. Well, the BBC
:20:23. > :20:25.Trust isn't just concerned about Trust isn't just concerned `bout
:20:26. > :20:29.reflecting a multicultural society. It is also concerned about improving
:20:30. > :20:34.equal opportunities on the BBC, on all outputs. I'm joined by Femi
:20:35. > :20:39.Ogens, the founder of Britain's Ogens, the founder of Britain's
:20:40. > :20:44.first drama school that specifically focuses on creating opportunities
:20:45. > :20:49.for black act ors. I'm sure what you are hearing from the BBC Trtst
:20:50. > :20:54.doesn't surprise you? Not one bit. I think it is a deliberate tactic to
:20:55. > :20:55.silence those people who will be proactive now. Commissioners,
:20:56. > :20:57.networks, producers, have had proactive now. Commissioners,
:20:58. > :20:57.networks, producers, have h`d the networks, producers, have had the
:20:58. > :21:00.luxury of being able to givd networks, producers, have h`d the
:21:01. > :21:03.luxury of being able to give empty and ineffective promises th`t they
:21:04. > :21:05.know will not make one scratch of difference. That's why now I'm glad
:21:06. > :21:09.difference. That's why now H'm glad we are bringing it to your
:21:10. > :21:11.attention. Here we are now talking about this on BBC London, the BBC
:21:12. > :21:14.Trust is highlighting it. Strely Trust is highlighting it. Surely
:21:15. > :21:16.that's a good thing and mord that's a good thing and mord
:21:17. > :21:20.opportunities for the actors you look after. The thing is, it is not
:21:21. > :21:25.about opportunity as such. The thing is, this country will continue to
:21:26. > :21:28.lose the tallet that it nurtures and develops. That's evident evdn with
:21:29. > :21:31.develops. That's evident even with our agency. We have stars who are
:21:32. > :21:35.now the lead in Star Wars. Hs he now the lead in Star Wars. Is he
:21:36. > :21:36.going to be interested in doing another show for BBC or ITV or
:21:37. > :21:41.whatever? The bottom line shtuation, whatever? The bottom line situation,
:21:42. > :21:44.if you don't recognise us now, just know it is can going to cost you
:21:45. > :21:49.more when you recognise us in the more when you recognise us hn the
:21:50. > :21:53.future. As simple as that. Xour work has been recognised. Congratulations
:21:54. > :21:55.for your MBE for services to actors, you must be delighted. Absolutely.

:22:03. > :22:16.Thank you. It's the latest annual pavillion at
:22:17. > :22:18.the Serpentine Gallery which opens to the public later this wedk.
:22:19. > :22:20.The temporary structure has been created by Chilean
:22:21. > :22:22.architect Smilijan Radic. So what exactly is it?
:22:23. > :22:25.Our Arts Correspondent, Brenda Emmanus, has been to Kensington
:22:26. > :22:27.Gardens to take a closer look. Visually it's open to many
:22:28. > :22:29.interpretations. One of its commissioners described it as
:22:30. > :22:33.appearing like an alien spacepod that has come to rest on a neolithic
:22:34. > :22:36.site: But, for the next four months, this temporary pavilion stands proud
:22:37. > :22:40.as the latest offering by the Serpentine gallery and the first
:22:41. > :22:41.London Commission for its Chilean architect, Smilijan Radic. H visit
:22:42. > :22:48.London like a tourist sometimes architect, Smilijan Radic. I visit
:22:49. > :22:54.London like a tourist somethmes but it's not really ` I'm not really
:22:55. > :22:58.inside of the culture and it is a different experience for me. That's
:22:59. > :22:59.great. I think it is really challenged and pushed me to do
:23:00. > :23:01.something that I think is really something that I think is really
:23:02. > :23:03.good. This fragile`looking fibreglass shell was built up
:23:04. > :23:06.good. This fragile`looking fibreglass shell was built tp like
:23:07. > :23:09.papier mache and has taken six months from planning to
:23:10. > :23:13.construction. Most of Smilijan's work has been in his native Chile
:23:14. > :23:16.and its his bold structures that signature that have
:23:17. > :23:20.long`inspired those that commissioned his debut London
:23:21. > :23:26.project. We found out that there is an amazing architecture scene in
:23:27. > :23:30.Chile of which he is a key protagonist. I'm impressed with the
:23:31. > :23:33.way he makes experiences through materials which are unique. For
:23:34. > :23:39.those people who don't know his work, of which there are many, what
:23:40. > :23:43.we want them to do, what we want the public to do, is when they come
:23:44. > :23:47.here, get a sense of the kind of considerations, the kind
:23:48. > :23:47.that Smilijan has that, of course, exist in these other buildings. Like
:23:48. > :23:53.previous all great pavilions it'll provide a
:23:54. > :23:54.surprise at every turn. This installation will provide the
:23:55. > :23:57.visitors with the very diffdrent visitors with the very different
:23:58. > :24:13.experience up here in the interior cylindrical shape,
:24:14. > :24:19.compared to below, surrounded by the
:24:20. > :24:22.poetry, music, film and litdrature, it's hoped visitors will be drawn to
:24:23. > :24:45.this playful semi`transparent doughnut, like kids to sweets.
:24:46. > :24:50.The wind is picking up and that is because we have some showers making
