Stereotypes In TV Drama

Tom Branson - Downton Abbey:
Tom is an Irishman whose early storyline followed his typical 'Irish hatred' for the British aristocracy, including the Crawleys. In one episode, his brother, who is also Irish, came to visit, which resulted in a drunken argument and resulted in him being asked to leave, this is somewhat stereotypical of the irish. Such drunken behaviour was also portrayed by Tom in a different episode.

T-Dogg - The Walking Dead:
He in an African-American character, whose name is stereotypical in itself. The clothes that he is hsown to wear are stereotypical as they portray the gangsta/rapper style that was popular within the African-American culture of the 1990s, with a baggy/gold chained/ military type look. He is also shown to be quite clumsy, which can be a stereo type of black characters, as in one episode he easily, and quite sewriously slices his forearm on a cashed car.

Dev Alahan - Coronation Street:
Dev is a somewhat stereotypical indian corner shop owner, who owns a chain of shops throughout the UK. He has also been shown to be sleazy or arrogant, which can also be related to this stereotype. Such a stereotype is very common within TV programmes.
