Asian Network Presents celebrates 50 years of Asian programming on the 大象传媒, including Make Yourself at Home and Naye Zindagi Naya Jeevan.
Asian Network Presents celebrates 50 years of the 大象传媒's Asian programmes.
The 10th of October, 1965 saw the 大象传媒 broadcast its first programming especially for the UK's newest inhabitants from South Asia. Called 'Make Yourself at Home' it aimed to help the community to assimilate into British life with language lessons and handy household tips including on how to turn a switch on.
From there the strand not only reflected the lives of immigrants in the 60's, but then charted the growing confidence of a community which now calls itself British-Asian.
Sonia Deol presents and in part one of two programmes takes in the period from 1965 to 1986 with music from the likes of Reshma, Kishore Kumar and the Sabri Brothers and clips from interviews with the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher.
