BritishFollowing on from last year’s brilliant The Great British Asian Invasion, Channel Four are looking toward Britain’s black community, and how it helped shape the nation. The programme is looking to "tell the real story of Britain’s black population from the late 1950s to the present day." Featuring everything from the Ska/Calypso boom imported from the Carribean, to the Brixton Riots.

Saturday’s programme starts with the first generation, and asks why people from the Caribbean
and Africa decided to come to Britain and how they have influenced the
culture here. It also tells the story of those children for whom ‘home’
has always been Britain, and how being raised with two cultures has
affected their lives. An irreverent look featuring talking heads from Lord Heseltine to Linford Christie and shows the passionate story of Black Brits. A must see.[Mof Gimmers]
