  I'm so hoping they air this on BBC-America...I'm sure so many americans would love to see this. Chiwetel has a huge fan base here and Goodman's an american actor. So please consider it.

  There were black british jazz bands back in the 30's?

  I'd recommend you see an 2008 UK documentary on Leslie 'Hutch' Hutchinson, who was a very well known Black Jazz band leader in 1920s/30s Britain.
  The film unearthed the fact that Hutch slept with a number of rich and powerful society women including a member of the Royal family. The then King, George V, demanded that family honour be upheld and that they sued a newspaper for libel. What was unusual was case was heard in almost empty court having convened at 9:30am not the usual 11am time for sittings, which lead to it being almost forgotten for some 70 years.
  The documentary is entitled Hutch: High Society's Favourite Gigolo and was first transmitted on UK TVs Channel 4 in 2008.

  Looks good. Funny after just seeing "Chico and Rita" today I see a few similarities. Only a few though.

  @ EC Forde, yes we know all about the doc you mention as it was nominated for a Screen Nation award in Acheivement in Factual Diversity. The trailer was slighly disappointing for us and its a shame we didnt get to see anything much of the sensational Wunmi Mosaku. Looking forward to it though.
