You could argue that this was the first time a black-led show was in the mainstream as something non-political and stood against other comedy shows at the time.

The show came to an end after two series as Fruit Dandi went on to be the commissioner of the multicultural unit at Channel 4.

He had £8 million to spend freely and his aim was to bring in more black and Asian production companies and to create diverse programming across all genres.

I got a call from Jeremy Isaac's secretary, right? I used to go to Channel 4, of course, to the offices to, you know, finish the idiots and hand in the stuff and blah.

There's a reason all black shows get commissioned less and less.

And that's because diversity is now everybody's remit instead of a specific team.

And Fruit thinks that there are limitations to this model.

You had this multicultural unit, all the budget, the power to spend how you like and things.
