Rainbow City is a British television series made by the BBC and shown in 1967. It was created and produced by John Elliot.[1]
The series was the first British TV series to feature a black actor, Errol John as the lead character.[2] John starred as John Steele, a black solicitor, and the series dealt with his personal and professional problems, living and working in the multi-ethnic community of Birmingham. John Elliot had been approached by the head of programmes for BBC Birmingham to develop a series about the Caribbean community in Great Britain. Elliot wrote several episodes in collaboration with Trinidadian actor, Horace James, who was cast in one of the other main roles.[1] The series was shot at the BBC's Gosta Green studio in Birmingham. Five of the six episodes survived.[2]
Mary, Steele's white wife, was played by Gemma Jones, later the star of the BBC's The Duchess of Duke Street.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
