Black on Screen

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Why has Britain produced so many black sports stars, musicians and even the odd newsreader, but not one black box-office star? In the first of two programmes, Paul Barber , who starred in The Full Monty, tells the hidden tale of Britain's early black actors, from Ernest Trimmingham to Earl Cameron. He reveals the peculiar role cinema has played in the changing attitudes towards black people in this country. Producer Miles Warde
