Way back, way back, there was a always a kind of nervousness about actors playing heroes or kings. If they could do this roleplaying so convincingly, might not ordinary people begin to wonder about the 'specialness' of their rulers? Could anyone play the role of king then? Think that Baddiel is so stupid or is it arrogant, that he chooses to wade into something as ridiculous as 'ethnicity' of actors playing roles in plays. He appears to imagine that ridicule shows that he really is a public intellectual.
