ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome back to Season 7 of Trapped History! And have we got a season for you, full to bursting with stories of unexpected heroes and uncharted histories which will inspire you, make you laugh and make you cry.
We’re kicking off with the magnificent broadcaster, journalist and Loose Woman, Charlene White, who joins us as we uncover the moving life story of Alford Gardner, one of the last surviving Windrush passengers. Born in Jamaica, Alford journeyed to England to fight for the ‘motherland’ in the Second World War. Job done, he went home – then came back, all the while trying to find a place of his own. It’s a universal story familiar to millions and Charlene shares her own family experiences of finding that place called home. It is a story full of joy and laughter – and tears and anger – and it is magnificently told by Charlene.
