Part 2 of Isaac Julien's documentary history of black people in British television begins in the late 60s. From that period of turbulent race relations, which spawned controversial comedies like Till Death Us Do Part and Love Thy Neighbour, through to present-day drama and magazine programmes, this film traces and questions the progress made by black people on British television. Including interviews with Linton Kwesi Johnson, Hanif Kureishi, Norman Beaton and Lenny Henry, and extracts from programmes of the time such as Mind Your Language, Roots, The Fosters and Empire Road. Narrated by Stuart Hall.

A fly-on-the-wall documentary series that chronicles a dramatic period in the history of the Labour-controlled
London Borough of Lewisham. People Power. Working women with children have occupied the central library in a desperate effort to meet the council leader Steve Bullock. The borough's housing shortage is spotlighted when a pregnant homeless woman refuses the offer of a newly redecorated one-bedroomedflat because she discovers the previous tenant died there. With 17,000 people on the waiting list and only 3,000 properties a year to let, it may be her only chance of being rehoused.
Meanwhile the council moves slowly towards crisis as members fail to make the necessary cuts to the cherished education service.
Producers Malcolm Hirst and Charles Stewart
