Idris Elba has teamed up with his wife Sabrina to make a series about the treatment of black artists in the music industry.
The couple’s production companies Green Door Pictures and Pink Towel will work with London’s Aim-listed Zinc Media to create the documentary Paid In Full.
Zinc shares climbed 7.1 per cent following the news that the multi million-pound series had been commissioned by the BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).

The programmes will explore the unjust treatment of minority artists, including the disparity of profits received by them, despite having created some of the most popular records of all time.
‘This is a story that touches all of us. It’s about the people who created the soundtracks of our lives in popular music and the pain of their exploitation,’ Elba said.
Aside from his acting career, the 50-year-old Londoner is a professional DJ, having hit the decks at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding in 2018, as well as stints performing in Ibiza
