Cambridge’s youngest Black professor, already under fire for alleged plagiarism in his PhD, is now facing fresh scrutiny after claiming he was part of the iconic 1964 TV series “Seven Up” — a show he couldn’t have been on since he wasn’t born until 1985. He insists he meant “Seven Up” as slang for a local community program for Black mothers supporting kids with learning challenges, inspired by “it takes a village.” Despite being cleared by one university, critics demand a new review of his thesis, and this latest controversy adds fuel to the fire — even as the BBC confirms no connection to their show and his team says his remarks were informal and misinterpreted.
