Empire Road was a groundbreaking British TV drama series made by the BBC in 1978–1979, written by Michael Abbensetts and filmed largely in Birmingham. It was the first British television series predominantly written, acted and directed by Black artists, and focused on the everyday lives of African-Caribbean, East Indian and South Asian residents living on a diverse street in the city. The show blended real community stories, humour, family challenges, relationships and social themes with warmth and honesty, a kind of Coronation Street of its time for inner-city multicultural Britain. It was also a launchpad for notable actors including Norman Beaton, Joseph Marcell, Rosa Roberts and early appearances by Julie Walters.
In Episode 9: Something Old, Something New, themes of tradition and change take centre stage. As longstanding relationships, familiar routines and cherished comforts face new challenges or opportunities, the characters must negotiate what to hold onto and what to embrace. The title reflects the emotional balance between history and progress, and this episode explores how personal growth and community bonds evolve together on Empire Road.
