EastEnders is to air an episode featuring an entirely black cast for the first time in its 23-year history.
Tonight's programme will focus entirely on characters Patrick Trueman, Denise Wicks, fiance Lucas, and her daughters Chelsea and Libby.
Patrick reminisces about London in the 1950s after his arrival from the Caribbean in the episode.
The action will be set chiefly in his house, which is also the home of the other characters.
The family discuss history around the dinner table as they mark Shrove Tuesday, and it is revealed that Patrick (played by Rudolph Walker) was involved in the 1958 Notting Hill riots.
