Three Little Birds written by Sir Lenny Henry starts Sunday 22 October at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
Sir Lenny’s new ITV drama is inspired by his mother This year, the 75th anniversary of Windrush was commemorated, paying homage to the generation of people who travelled to the UK from countries in the Commonwealth in the hope of finding exciting opportunities overseas. Sir Lenny Henry’s new ITV drama Three Little Birds, which is released tonight, tells the story of three women who came to England from Jamaica, inspired by the real life men and women who did so for decades.
So I think that anybody who’s been through these things, wherever they’re from, whatever colour they are, whatever gender they are, hopefully will be able to relate to these stories. Rochelle Even though it’s set in 1957, I do feel like there’s a lot that resonates even to today. Taking your own destiny by the horns and forging your own path, I think is a universal story.
