Lenny Henry gets his big break in sitcom The Fosters - Series 1

http://www.networkdvd.net/product_info.php?products_id=1174

The Fosters - Series 1 DVD is out 5th July 2010

SPECIAL FEATURE: NEW YEAR WITH THE FOSTERS
The Fosters invite a poor neighbour to Samuel Foster supper, but what is her meat loaf made with?

The first sitcom written both for and starring black actors, The Fosters showcased the early work of Lenny Henry (riding high on a recent win in talent series New Faces) as the budding artist son of easygoing family man Samuel Foster (Norman Beaton, who would go on to gain fame in '90s comedy Desmond's).

The series follows the day-to-day trials of Samuel and his lively wife Pearl (both immigrants from Guyana) and their three children on a South London housing estate.
