Blacks are around 5% of UK population but their TV makes it seem like they are almost a quarter of the population.

That's not even the worst part. This show is set in Victorian England and blacks constituted around 0.1% of population in 1780. And this was probably lower in higher classes. With 20% of cast being black this isn't mere over-representation but attempt at rewriting of history.

Similar situation is in Sweden where over half of commercials feature a non-white
