Alford Gardner

Join Oswin, Carla and MK in our Season 7 opener as we celebrate the life of an ‘everyman’. Alford Gardner was just an ordinary guy – he never saved a baby from a burning building, he wasn’t the mysterious Fifth Beatle, he didn’t make groundbreaking scientific discoveries.

But in his own quiet way, Alford was just as important. Because in journeying to Britain on the Windrush from his Jamaican homeland, Alford Gardner built a community and a nation.

His is a simple but remarkable story. And it is told by broadcaster and ‘Loose Woman’ Charlene White, who shares her own family experiences of finding that place called home.

So join us as we laugh and cry and marvel at the world Windrush made.
