very un PC question

If there is another Pakistani family on the square (I mean, rumour has it they will add a mosque to the set) , will they again be played by Indians? And has there ever been a proper Pakistani actor on the set? Or are they not allowed to play gay, drinking, gambling, getting pregnant outside marriage, sitting at the Vic, albeit with orange juice.

I am sure there is a couple of actors of Pakistani hertiage they could gather, even those that will not feel any "heat" from the community if they play so called "risque" characters.
But i bet it will be struggle to get the family blend right without using the odd Indian hertitage actor. I would personally like to see a interracial (white english female, Pakistani british born male) young family who are both of islamic faith rather than the usual middle age couple.

I really don't see the point of having a mosque on set unless they was going to have a ton of muslim actors or extras, just do what they have done before and film on the odd occasion in whatever mosque they used for the masoods.

And isn’t it ironic that if they do build a mosque on the set, it will be practically bang centre of the Borehamwood Eruv boundaries http://www.eboreruv.org/map.asp

Really want a mixed race family show some more struggles mixed race children actually face sometimes I know from experience. Including things like parents splitting up knowing about your cultures and backgrounds and trying to fit in and be what others want you to be. Think a mixed race family with 1-3 kids would be nice.
