Sir Lenny Henry: "It's good to do new things that challenge you" ✍️

In this exclusive interview, Sir Lenny Henry talks about the challenges and rewards of writing his new ITV drama series, Three Little Birds. Based on stories told to him by his mother and aunt about coming to Britain in the 1950s, the show is a moving and uplifting tale of overcoming obstacles and finding hope in the face of adversity.
Henry explains that he was inspired to write Three Little Birds after being moved by the Windrush scandal, and feeling that there needed to be more stories told about the post-Windrush generation. He also talks about how the show has been a personal challenge for him, as it has forced him to confront his own experiences of growing up as a black man in Britain.

Lenny Henry was once one of my favourite comedians, then I turned 6.

Love this. But I'm shocked at how old Chris Evans and Lenny Henry look in this, i don't understand, unless this means I'm old now too .... oh.... Can't wait to watch this series. Its going to be great

How do we buy this if we're in America?

[@sandradenise2283]

Very good idea by Sir LH, that he's used his platform to depict the Windrush migration from the pov of the Caribbean immigrants. However, the UK Caribbean community did Not all arrive from Jamaica. The women also were not all glamorous. In fact, I was told it was mostly the poorer ones who wanted or felt the need to take up the offer. Perhaps there should be one dark skinned main female actor of average height. Also, the likelihood of any gay relationships among the Windrush immigrants is too remote to mention. I haven't seen the series yet, but the idea of it alone should be mandatory study for UK school History curriculum.
