Not just that, Shona - how did this black man work his way into the middle classes and become accepted by them? Given the times and the attitudes of the whites, that was little short of miraculous, surely?

That historical aspect fascinated me too - but I guess it would have been a bit too non-PC to bring it up?
As I said on the John Barnes thread above I think the Series has either to ''pull up its socks'' or be renamed Celebrities' Historical Biographies  Going back - I did enjoy and remember the David Mitchell one and that hilarious Will Reading!

In case anyone missed it, the announcer said at the end that the John Bishop episode will be shown "later this year", whatever that means.
Discussion of tonight's episode on its own thread please!

There's a snippet about John Bishop in the West Sussex County Council staff magazine, he goes to Chichester in search of something but the Records Office say they were only allowed to research for this one particular fact and aren't allowed to say any more!
