PICKP OF THE DAY

A PASSAGE TO BRITAIN, 9PM, BBC2

YAS AN island nation, Britain has been shaped over the centuries not just by the waves that batter the coastline, but by the ships that have brought people to our shores. Historian Dr Yasmin Khan is fascinated by the lives of immigrants who, like her own father, came from the Indian subcontinent to build a new life in Britain. Using the passenger lists of three different ships as her starting point, she sets out to discover what happened to these new arrivals in this documentary series exploring how Britain changed them — and how they changed

Britain.
