Synopsis

Reviews

Information

London, 1957. Victoria Station is awash with boat trains discharging hopeful black immigrants into a cold and alien England. And when Montgomery Pew, an Assistant Welfare Officer in the Colonial Department, meets Johnny Fortune from Lagos, the meeting of minds and races takes a surprising turn.

His perspective on the era when Persil really was thought to wash whiter was unique. His essays, novels and broadcasts sounded as though Orwell had let down his hair.
