How many #Revolutionary kisses do you know? The first #multiethnic #Kiss on #UK #TV - You in Your Small Corner, 5 June 1962 from #Jamaica to #Brixton #Interracial • The First Interracial Kiss on UK TV -... #ValentinesDay2022
You in Your Small Corner follows the arrival of a young man from Jamaica to Brixton, where he is staying with his mother before going up to Cambridge to study for an undergraduate degree. He meets a young woman on the rebound and they become lovers. The play is a sophisticated dissection of the subtleties and difficulties which affect the couple across race and class lines. You in Your Small Corner was a Granada TV Play of the Week and an adaptation of a play by Jamaican-born Barry Reckord which had originally been staged at the Royal Court. It was only when researching the BFI’s LOVE season in the BFI National Archive that BFI TV Programmer Marcus Prince realized this on-screen kiss between actors Lloyd Reckord (brother of the playwright) Elizabeth MacLennan predates all other known examples and is one of several intimate exchanges between the two leading players.
You in Your Small Corner, live broadcast on British television from 1962.
In June 1962, a live performance of the play You in Your Small Corner by Barry Reckord was broadcast on British television as part of the Granada Television series Play of the Week. The central theme of the play is a relationship between a young black intellectual and a white working-class girl. During the play, a kiss takes place between actors Lloyd Reckord and Elizabeth MacLennan, and what has been described as an "explicit post-coital scene".
You In Your Small Corner was rediscovered during preparations for a November 2015 British Film Institute panel discussion on "Race and Romance on TV" and was used in publicity for the event.
Heather Stewart, Creative Director, BFI said:
“This groundbreaking TV play is such an important rediscovery. A document of British social history, it demonstrates the role of progressive television drama as a reflection of our society and underlines the vital work of the BFI National Archive as the guardian of our national memory. Fifty years on, diverse on-screen representation is still an urgent issue and we must continue as an industry to effect much-needed change.”
