Media Watch: 'Black Nurses: The women who saved the NHS'

'This documentary reveals the untold story of how thousands of Caribbean women answered the call from 'the Mother Country' to come and help build Britain’s National Health Service'.

I am very much looking forward to this program which airs on 24 November at 9pm BBC 4. Visit
