In The Long Run

ITLR is the semi-autobiographical tale of Idris Elba growing up in London. It charts the adventures of his family - the Easmons - who moved here from Sierra Leone, and their immediate community who struggle to cope with all that 80s Britain can throw at them. Things become more troublesome when Winston's brother is despatched from Sierra Leone to live in the U.K. Winston (Idris Elba) has to assimilate his brother into their family and what with his womanising and nefarious ways, things don’t go to plan. Winston is joined by his neighbour Bagpipes (Bill Bailey) who is also trying to keep his family together. A warm hearted, period drama based on true, ordinary yet extraordinary lives.
