Says series producer and director Pogus Caesar. "Over the past decade Britain has seen the tremendous impact and contribution of black people in sport on a worldwide scale.

"This will be the first series of its type which concentrates exclusively on black sports people, looking at their life stories and lifestyles and perhaps more importantly finding out what gives them the will to win." - contributors to the series included Sharron Davies, Ian Botham, Nigel Benn, Henry Cooper, Denise Lewis, John Barnes, Roger Black and Kriss Akabusi.

Respect was produced and directed by Pogus Caesar, and is a Carlton Television UK production and a Central Independent Television programme.
