Critical reception edit

The documentary series was praised for the engaging style of the presenters[7] alongside calls for a second series to be commissioned. The series also provided a first-hand glimpse into the racism faced by immigrants to Britain in the 20th century.[8] Additionally, it was noted that racism against minorities has not disappeared in the modern day.[9]

The series was originally broadcast on regional versions of BBC One.
