Play for Today: In the Beautiful Caribbean

on BBC One London

by Barry Reckord.
With Calvin Lockhart as Jonathan, Louise Bennett as Mercina, Ram John Holder as Bredda Ordinance, Thomas Baptiste as Zikky, and introducing Rick James as One Son

Blue sky, blue sea, beautiful people, beautiful music but that doesn't pay the rent when you're out of work and there are no jobs. Not even in the beautiful Caribbean.
