I have seen Lenny Henry in many things over the years and I don't know why but i always assumed he walked straight into television, boy was i wrong. Here is an in-depth look at life growing up in 70's England and the prejudices and racism that was so prevalent in our society (and still is unfortunately). From 3 minute stints at impressions to being Trevor Mcdonut on TISWAS. Its a wonderful read and a real eye opener on what society and the entertainment industry was like. Lenny paints a picture of a time when being 'black' was a joke in itself and his frank account of incidents is a revelation (sometimes a disturbing one). Definitely a great read :)
