BBC 2 last night put on one of their history drama documentary type programmes, I don't think it was a repeat. It was about Henry Lacelles one of those unscrupulous eighteenth century businessmen who made a considerable fortune out of slavery and who had to contend with a srupulous government inspector who couldn't be bought off. I thought it was very well done. I look forward to the day when an Arab TV station does something similar about the Arab slave trade which was equally obnoxious.
Well done BBC2.
