Next Friday, September 10, Channel 4 will air a landmark day of programming in what it has labelled the Black To Front Project.
For 24 hours, the broadcaster will hand over its entire schedule to shows featuring black talent on screen and behind the cameras.
The lineup will comprise brand new returning series, one-off specials - including the revival of a '90s favourite - and special editions of staple Channel 4 shows.
