The Assembly

Lenny Henry faces the grilling of a lifetime from a cast of autistic and learning-disabled interviewers. Who does he regret idolising? In what order does he wash his body parts? From the moment he enters the room, nothing is off limits. As the questions come thick and fast, Henry reflects on growing up in Britain during a time of overt racism, the impact of Comic Relief, and the difficult choices he's had to forgive himself for.
