In an article in the March 19, 2011 edition of the Radio Times listings magazine, producer Brian True-May was quoted as saying about this show: "We don't have ethnic minorities involved. Because it wouldn't be the English village with them. It just wouldn't work. Suddenly we might be in Slough. Ironically, Causton is supposed to be Slough, and if you went into Slough you wouldn't see a white face there. We're the last bastion of Englishness, and I want to keep it that way. I'm trying to make something that appeals to a certain audience, which seems to succeed. And I don't want to change it." He was suspended for these comments, perceived to be racist, which provoked a lot of discussion in the media, with opinions polarized in favor or in opposition with the policy. He was later reinstated, but it was announced that he would step down as producer after the 2011 season had finished.
