Anyone else been watching this series of feature length dramas on BBC? Stand alone stories of black immigrants in London in the late 20th century. Really good. Covers the house parties, sound systems, police racism, Brixton Riots, The Mangrove in Notting Hill (one of my favourite episodes so far) and tonight's one was all about author Alex Wheatle and his imprisonment after the riots.
Really well done, all directed by Steve McQueen, great drama and packed full of black history that is an eye opener for me. And some great tunes, to boot.
Not one dud amongst them so far. All available on iplayer. A real tonic from the usual Sunday night claptrap on the beeb.
