It is you’re right, totally unexpected. I didn’t want it to end. Probably the best social history programme I’ve ever seen.

Amazing about the young servant couple, who when he died left the equivalent of £1.5 Million from hard work and investment and the cotton trader who was bankrupt went to prison, left his wife and Step daughters in poverty to go America, fought in the American Civil War as a mercenary and remarried to another life


I agree with the above comments Stewart - we really enjoyed the programme and it is now set to 'series record'.

The presenter ( David Olusoga ) was interviewed on BBC Breakfast and was fascinating - clearly very 'into' the subject matter.He didn't want to be drawn too much but it was fairly obvious that he was not enamoured of the cotton trader and how he made his money....
