Anyway, Noel Clarke's episode of WDYTYA? was a tour of Caribbean islands, including Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada.
This was actually a really interesting episode - covering history that we often don't get to hear about while still being human and relatable.
Unfortunately, the spectre of slavery is rarely avoidable when it comes to the Caribbean.
It's hard to believe that people were ever treated like this. It's sad but true, and at least this story had some hope in the form of Noel's 4x great-grandfather, Glasgow Bedou, who was born into slavery but lived to own his own land, as well as his freedom.
Overall, a really important and truly interesting episode.
