9	* ValuesDissonance: One reason the series has hardly ever been repeated on British television is its perceived racist portrayal of the Indian characters, and especially the casting of Caucasian Englishman Creator/MichaelBates as Rangi Ram. The series' defenders note that Bates was born and raised in India (he learned to speak Hindi before he could speak English) and retained a lifelong fondness for the country which he poured into his performance, while a number of the actual South Asian regular and guest cast members expressed gratitude that, in the otherwise almost all-white landscape of 1970s British television, there was at least one series where they could find work.
