Entertainment & Music - 10 October 2006

I often see Indian or Chinese dancers used on the BBC as link pieces or part of programs (eg the kids' program 'Autumnwatch' on CBeebies in the morning). But if the beeb are so keen on multiculturalism, why do we not see much in the way of Arabic or Islamic music?

Not all Muslims adhere to the fundamentalist doctrine that music is sinful, but we only ever hear about the ones that do think so, and the lack of arabic music on tv surely adds to this one-sided perception and stereotypes all Muslims as fundamentalist.

Arabic and Islamic music has a rich and diverse history. Why no representation in the same way as other cultures?

Loved all the series except for Voyager and Enterprise. Enterprise was like Star Trek for Dummies and Voyager played the mirality card too obviously IMHO. Favourite Next Gen - I think because of Patrick Stewarts acting.

A new series? I heard mooted one was in the pipeline which was going to be full of battles which would be great. Please bring it back! (bit lost without my fix! although love The Sopranos and NYPD Blue)! Bit sad arent I! ha ha
