BBC Three's show Boarders follows five black students in the British public school system.
The writer and cast of Boarders - about five black teenagers with scholarships to an elite boarding school - on code switching, education and opportunity.Daniel Lawrence Taylor, writer of the BBC comedy drama Boarders and the BAFTA-nominated series Timewasters, remembers feeling out of place while at university.
“I think there'll be a universal appeal to the show because we all have to code switch in some way, shape or form, to survive in life.”is a term widely used to describe when somebody changes their accent, tone of voice and mannerisms depending on what space they’re in. Many black people feel that they have to code-switch when entering white majority spaces.
Alongside Josh in Boarders are Jodie Campbell , Myles Kamwendo , Sekou Diaby and Aruna Jalloh .And Daniel decided to not only write Boarders but star in it, with the role of mentor Gus. Growing up, Daniel says he “didn’t necessarily have strong male black role models, it was mostly strong black women”.
