I have had a great life and have been lucky enough to work with some very talented directors, actors and producers in almost every part of the media. In 2004 I was awarded the BAFTA Special Lifetime Award for contribution to Children’s Television. I believe I am the first black person to receive this award and I feel honoured. In 2001 I also received an OBE for contribution to broadcasting.
I get to meet some really interesting people from the world of theatre, television, politics and sport, many of whom I have admired.
Here are a collection of photographs which reflect some of the wonderful moments of my life.
