Sky has been forced to clarify the plot of a comedy drama about an inheritance derived from slavery after being accused of making light of one of the darkest episodes in human history while also sidelining black British talent.
On Friday it emerged that Sky was on the verge of commissioning a show called Forty Acres, which would star the W1A team of Hugh Bonneville, Sarah Parish and writer Rufus Jones in a show about a family dealing with their historic links to slavery.
