Accidentally killing your boyfriend's pet

Press
Series two of this silly but sharp sitcom ends in chaos, with the KGB on the hunt for the time machine that's taken a gang of Peckham pals back to the 1950s. Meanwhile, Caribbean immigrants are fighting a racist landlord. Setting these episodes at the dawn of the Windrush era was surely not an accident.
