Black Britain: One-in-100,000

on BBC Two England

First of an eight-part current affairs magazine series that reflects the lives and experiences of Britain's black population, presented by Rianna Scipio.

Linda Mitchell reports on the plight of nine-year-old Daniel [text removed] who could die from leukaemia because of the difficulty of locating a bone marrow donor. If Daniel was white, he would have a one-in-five chance of finding a donor and fighting off the disease, but because he is black his chances are just one-in-100,000. Health professionals say the problem is that black people are unwilling to join donor registers. The programme investigates, with dramatic results.
