Sir “This Will Be The First High End Series About This Time Period That’s Been On British Televsion And I Think It’s Going To Blow People’s Minds. They’ve Never Seen This Amount of People of Colour On Prime Time Television. Hopefully It’s Going To Be A Lovely And Shocking Expierence Form Them.”
Sir Lenny Henry: SKA, Rock Steady, Reggae, One Drop, Hip Hop, Lovers Rock, Grime. There’s A Musicial Journey. There’s A Personal Journey. There’s Romance There’s Loveliness. There’s People Exploring Their Sexuality Who Probably Would Have Kept It A Bit Hidden Before. There’s Life. There’s Riots. There’s So Many Things To Watch And Celebrate And Go ‘That’s Us’. That’s Who We Are.
And I Think If We’re Allowed We Want To Get To Those Stories And Make Our People Proud Because We Stand ON Their Shoulders, So We Want To Honour Them.
Everyone who watched the series really loved it,
and for that reason
we’re really disappointed we can’t make another series happen.
