Show Notes

From the archives of Alternative Views

"TV/film producer-director Chris Thomas brings with him an insightful documentary which he made showing the nature and extent of racism on English television, using clips from documentaries, panel discussions, interviews and entertainment programs. The program, which was shown on the BBC's public access hour, created a furor, resulting in threats of lawsuits, an unusual disclaimer by the BBC and attempts by the BBC to prevent further public showings of the program."
