Episode 3 of 4

Documentary series celebrating Britain's black community. Our cast of black Britons talk about making it, but making it with a difference.

This episode is about making it, but making it with a difference. Naomi Campbell, Sir Trevor McDonald, Lenny Henry, Thandie Newton, Chuka Umunna, Tinie Tempah, Dizzie Rascal, Commonwealth general secretary Baroness Scotland and footballer Les Ferdinand reveal how the path to the top in the UK if you are black is fraught with challenges. Tokenism, type-casting, lack of access to capital, proving yourself twice over, are just some of the problems they faced. And that's all before the self-censorship that prevents many from achieving their full potential.

The cast talk about the massive achievement and contribution of black Britons, where they have managed to forge their own path to success; where bravery, self-reliance and resilience finally cuts through.
