Black Book is the story of Johnson and Patricia, a couple from the African/Caribbean Diaspora. Johnson’s parents are from Jamaica and Patricia’s from Nigeria. Both Johnson and Patricia consider themselves to be British . Both are well educated and have successful professional careers. They haven’t any children, not for want of trying. It is a drama in which the scenes are largely improvised in order to maintain a strong sense of immediacy since this is a subject that affects everyone on an extremely visceral level. The creator, Nicholas Beveney ,has compiled the questions from the councillors from a survey he put out asking people what kinds of questions they would like to ask their partners if they caught them cheating.
