Levi Roots and Arthur Torrington are Tim's guides on the incredible and ongoing history and impact of the Windrush generation.

Celebrity chef and entrepreneur Levi Roots' life has been shaped by his personal Windrush story, and he sits down on a London Overground platform on the new Windrush line to discuss it with host Tim Dunn. Levi speaks about what it was like to leave Jamaica and his grandmother to join the rest of his family, as well as how his life as a boy in Brixton prepared him for his Dragon's Den triumph.

Tim is also joined by influential activist, campaigner and organiser Arthur Torrington, co-founder of the Windrush foundation, who explains the context of the Windrush history, including the Windrush scandal and how that affected those involved, and talks about the 'game changer' of having a line on London's transport network permanently named after Windrush.
