Hi all, i need some help.info. I bought a whats on tv magazine for this week and in there, there is a tv programme that very much interests me. "Roots Remembered" BBC2, tonight at 11:20pm. The listing says "One off Documentary", i have SKY Plus and when i pressed the green button to see if it would series link, it did. I can't find anything on t'internet that shows this as a series, so i'm a little confused. I would love to watch this series again, it was fantastic and very moving. Does anyone know if tis Documentary is a series or a one off and do you know if Roots is returning to our TV's?

Hope you can help!
