All black UK soap


For the first time in 23 years, the BBC is to air an episode of its legendary soap EastEnders with an entirely black cast.  The characters will remember and comment the race riots that took place in London, Notting Hill, in 1958.

There will be no word from a single white member of the cast and the storyline will focus on Patrick Trueman who arrived in
England from the Carribeans in the 50s. With his relatives, they will question the fact that there's less racism in the UK today.
