I just binged watched the whole series of 3 little birds. I loved everything about it. Fantastic acting, All the lead actors were brilliant along with the rest of the cast. Great story following 2 sisters and their friend arriving in Dover then onto the Black Country and one of the sisters to Boreham wood in the hopes of starting an acting career. . They all want a better life as described by the sister's older brother but it doesn't quite match their expectations. Although the story is fictional, it is based on the experiences of Lenny Henry's Mother. The sign on a door in the credits of No Blacks, No Irish and No Dogs is something my Dad told me about when he arrived in London from Dublin in the late 50's. It highlights Wind Rush, racism but also shows friendships formed despite it. This series is funny, emotional and authentic to the era. Great music too. Well done Lenny Henry. I really hope there will be a series 2.
