How do TV dramas (characters) display disabled people?
Little Britain displays their disabled character (Andy) who relies on his friend to take him shopping, cook for him and also wash him. Andy is actually faking his disability as he is too lazy to want to do things for himself so he pretends he's disabled to get his friend to do everything for him. The way Andy is presented is very unhygienic as he isn't very clean and doesn't really care about what he looks like or how he presents himself. The portray they're creating of disabled people is that they aren't clever and don't want to do anything, but when Andy actually does get up and walks around it shows that actually he wants to be able to do things, but his laziness is stopping him from doing so.
