Kit de Waal novel, adapted by Shola Amoo, (who also did The Last Tree) stars Cole Martin, Monica Dolan (great as always), Malachi Kirby (Boiling Point), Olivia Williams, Poppy Lee Friar, Shobna Gulati, Leemore Marrett Jr., Chris Eccleston, Lenny Henry (exec producer).
Linton is often very close in on Cole. Story is set in Birmingham in early eighties and features Handsworth-type riots and police racism. And allotments.
Lots of good music includes Marvyn Gaye's 'What's Going On' as the boy finds his 'people'. Good.
