The much-loved comedian, actor and writer Sir Lenny Henry joins comedian Romesh Ranganathan in this special edition of our Book Podcast, as the two talk about Henry’s remarkable career and his new memoir Who Am I, Again?
Henry explains why and how he chose to write a truthful book about his life, rather than a ‘lying book’, and details his experiences growing up, from his mum’s infamous ‘Saturday Soup’ and an epic fight with his sister, to finding himself working alongside pioneering black actors including Norman Beaton, Carmen Munroe and Rudolph Walker. A great champion of marginalised voices, Henry also highlights the need for greater BAME representation not just on screen, but crucially among those who choose what gets to be seen on screen.
