TV's Greatest: Black On The Box (2024x117)

Fecha de emisión: Oct 12, 2024

The story of how some of the UK's best-loved stars changed the face of television when they became the first black people to take their place on the small screen. Pioneers such as Shirley Bassey, Lenny Henry, Trevor McDonald, Moira Stuart, Craig Charles, Don Warrington, Floella Benjamin and Diane-Louise Jordan all broke new ground in the decades in which they came to prominence, as did trailblazing sitcoms Desmond's and The Fosters and sketch show The Real McCoy. Narrated by Angela Griffin, this programme examines the impact they had, both at the time and in subsequent years.
