Summary
Three more series of the landmark, century-spanning historical drama
Faith, Hope and Glory charts the lives of three African-Caribbean families, connected forever by the theft of a beautiful pram in Tilbury in 1946. As they live through the eighty years since then, they witness and take part in the emergence of the modern United Kingdom.
Beginning in 1958 - the year of the Notting Hill race riots - these three series find our characters forced to make difficult decisions as they seek to quell their own domestic turmoil against the backdrop of increasingly febrile racial tensions. Meanwhile, a new generation begin to take their place in the rapidly changing Britain of the 1960s...
This enthralling drama charts the history of post-war Britain through intimate, interwoven stories, brilliantly brought to life by leading Black playwrights Roy Williams, Rex Obano and Carol Russell. The cast includes Danielle Vitalis as Hope, Pippa Bennett Warner as Gloria and Shiloh Coke as Faith, together with Martins Imhangbe as Jim, Stefan Adegbola as Clement and Gary Beadle as Trevor.
