Bristol in the early 1960s: Joseph Tremaine Ellington is a Barbadian expoliceman who, like many of his generation in the West Indies, has come to the UK to make a new life in the mother country. But the land of opportunity is not all it is cut out to be. It is not just the weather that is cold: so is the welcome.
Detektív J.T. Ellington Séria
Táto séria sleduje osudy barbadoského expolicajta, ktorý sa v 60. rokoch 20. storočia snaží usadiť v chladnej Británii. Hoci hľadá novú príležitosť, naráža na nepriaznivé prijatie a musí sa vyrovnávať s rasizmom a predsudkami. Príbehy vykresľujú napätie medzi kultúrami a boj jednotlivca o nájdenie svojho miesta v spoločnosti, to všetko zasadené do atmosféry povojnovej Británie.
