Tomorrow night in Manchester as many people as possible who worked on the programme Open Air, will gather for a celebration to mark 25 years since the programme was on the air. I am truly looking forward to this event. Hopefully there will be a report and some photos. But for now, this is the story of Open Air and my part in it.

Back in the day, I wrote to the BBC 1 Television programme 'Open Air' trying to get them to do a feature on the lack of black people on British television. It took some time and discussion but we eventually got it done. After the programme I was told that if anything ever came up they would be in touch. Eventually something did and they got in touch.
