Less than 2% of characters in the top UK TV shows are disabled

Just 1.6% of characters in the top UK TV shows are disabled compared to more than 21% in society, according to streaming advice service WatchTVAbroad.com and its Diversity in the UK study. It found that a number of popular, prime-time programmes, such as Eastenders, Coronation Street and Killing Eve, fall woefully short when it comes to disability representation.
