You make me smile more than the kids.
The doctors, the dentists?
Because they give you drugs.
LAUGHTER
It's good drugs.
How do you feel now?
Hhhaaa?
All good?
Yeah.
Who is your favourite person today?
You are my favourite person in the whole world.
It's so nice to see your face.
I love you.
It's so nice to see your face.
How gorgeous was that?
That's lovely.
I still love him even after drugs.
That's nice.
From Bake Off hash brownie week.
That is what I wanted to clarify, that you were talking to
your husband.
I was, yes.
It wasn't some some awful person.
Don't rattle Nadiya going, love you.
It would have been great if it had been a dentist,
though.
And also, Kate, we must celebrate your return to British TV
last night on Channel 4 with I Am Ruth.
CHEERING
And that is you with your daughter Mia.
Yes.
Which must have been an amazing experience.
It really was extraordinary.
It was quite frightening because the whole film
is unscripted, it's improvised, so you truly make their way
up as you go along.
We had a structure for the story.
And you'd help to structure the story.
Yes, so Dominic Savage, the director, who constructs
the story with the leading actor, you come up with the idea together,
and we wanted to tell a story about a mother who was dealing
with her very troubled teenager who has been sucked
into the depths of telephone addiction, iPhone addiction
and social media in a very unhealthy way that becomes damaging
to her mental health and the struggles that parents have
to connect and get in there and try and help and do something.
And he ended up costing my daughter, which was kind of a surprise for me
because Mia is 22 and the character was sort of 16, 17, so that's quite
a big jump so I didn't think of her at all.
We were talking about other young actresses who could play the role
and he does like to cast real people and I mean in the sense
there is a teacher who lives actually is my daughter's
will teacher and there is a doctor who was a real doctor
and things like that.
And he turned round and he said, "What about Mia?"
And I said, "My Mia?
And he said, well, why not?
And I said, well, you have to audition her and that has to be
separate to me and he said, look, I think she can do it.
I said, I know she can do it but that's terrifying,
but, yes, we did it and I'm proud of it.
It is quite a hard-hitting piece of television but I think it's
timely and it is something I feel really, really strongly
about as a parent.
So, yes, that is I Am Ruth.
And if you missed it, you really should catch up with it.
It's called I Am Ruth and it's on All4 and
Avatar, The Way Of Water, that is in cinemas from next Friday.
Thank you very much, Kate, very good.
I know Dominic.
He is a good guy.
Yes, absolutely amazing.
Now, Lenny Henry, not just an actor, and author
as well and two book to talk about tonight.
It's like a mini library.
Let's kick off with your children's novel.
It's called The Book Of Legends.
That is out now.
Essentially for a kid who loves books it's a book
about the magic of books.
Yes, it's a book about stories.
Twin kids, Brann and Fran and Brann is deaf and his sister Fran is shy.
They go on an extraordinary adventure into a magical land
in search of their mum and their mum is a prodigious storyteller
who works in a book shop in Birmingham called One Wow.
And she gets caught in a lightning storm
and is magically taken away, but she's left her but behind
and is magically taken away, but she's left her book behind
which has all the stories which are metaphorical and have
analogies and similes about navigating this
magical kingdom.
And it also got a poem about how to get there.
And they follow the rules of the poem and they get to this
place and they meet all kinds of extraordinary people.
Now, the reason I wrote this book was, A, it was either that or go
into the jungle with Matt Hancock.
Or write a goddamn book.
So I wanted to write a book for somebody who looks like me
who was about eight or 12 who just like the idea of adventure but
didn't see themselves in stories.
So that's what I have written The Book Of Legends.
And is also a great defender of libraries and just
storing books and accessing books.
Yes, because my auntie Pearl wanted me to read when I was eight,
nine, because she didn't see any books in the house.
There were comics but no books.
So she took me to Dudley library and signed me up.
Dedicated to Dudley library.
Are you from Dudley?
Yes.
Can I have a lift home?
It was literally Auntie Pearl so thanks to her and thanks
to Dudley library because that's where I read all these books,
you know, The Water Babies,
Dickens, stuff like that.
And it's a tribute to that really.
That is out now, but so is the second volume
of your autobiography.
This is Rising To The Surface.
So the first one was your beginnings. Yes.
And this is much more working, it's much more focused on your career.
Yes, it's from 20 years, 1980 to the year 2000 and it's
kind of like the rise and fall of what it's like to graft in the
showbiz crucible if you like.
You just have to get through it and if
something goes wrong, you have to bounce back and it's
all about that and how you do bounce back.
And I think a bit of the story that lots of British performers
are really interested in, and it's happening to you, Jack,
is you go to America.
You didn't just go to America, they wanted you.
Yes, I did a film called Live And Unleashed and it
was at Cannes, darling.
And I went to Cannes and a man from Disney saw
the film and he said, "You should be in this
film we are going to do, it's called True Identity."
And I didn't hear anything else.
I just read, I'm going to be in a film,
I'm going to be in a film.
It was so exciting and it was an Eddie Murphy film that he walked
away from and I didn't ask why has Eddie Murphy walked
away from this film?
I just said, I'm going to be in a film, I'm going
to marry Halle Berry.
I thought I was going to be in a movie and I got
there and all they were concerned about was my weight.
Oh, I've been there, darling.
I've sadly been there.
You need to lose 30 pounds.
Oh, yeah, I've been there.
And so I was on a diet which is air and arise
kick and some oxygen and some water.
And on the other side of the piece of paper it just said everything
else that's delicious.
So I just couldn't eat anything.
That's so dull.
So it was a bit of a downer and I had a guy called Doug who was
my trainer and he was a really good guy but he was ripped, he was so
ripped, he hadn't eaten bread since 1972.
They are the worst.
Everything is like...
Lenny, you know what I had to eat last night?
What?
A ball of steroids, Doug?
No, I had some lettuce.
This sounds like an absolute nightmare.
Why didn't you escape?
I couldn't escape because I was contracted to do three movies.
Oh!
And I was a white guy for the whole movie.
I was playing a guy called Myles Pope who was an African-American
actor and I spent the first 21 days being a white guy.
Full prosthetics.
We got a picture.
This is you.
That is Lenny.
No!
I look like a pissed white guy.
But I was a white guy.
Was Simon Cowell in the film?
No, this face moved more than Simon's.
And my sister came to visit me on the set of the movie
and didn't recognise me.
She came to New York and she walked by me in the street and the only way
she recognised me was I said...
BRUMMIE ACCENT: Sharon, I can't believe you
blanked me in the street.
I gave you nits when you were four.
And she went, "Aargh!
"What have they done to you?"
But it was a really tough experience.
It's weird that you are nodding, knowing what
Lenny is talking about because you found success in early
I thought you would have avoided some of those pressures
and the whole idea of the diet and all that stuff.
Well, I was never actually handed a diet sheet like that,
that sounds truly horrendous, I can't believe that,
it makes me want to say some really big swear words like now
but I won't.
But, yeah, my agent would get a phone call saying,
so how is her weight?
And I looked like this.
So then your agent has told you that.
Well, no, actually, to be fair on them they didn't tell me
that until a lot later, but, that thankfully
I think that has changed and if it hasn't changed,
I'm telling you, this young generation of actors and actresses
they know how to stand in their truth and be themselves.
Younger actors now have a voice and a place that
I absolutely know I never had.
But that's just awful.
I'm so upset about the stories.
Don't be upset.
I am. It makes me really cross.
There were a lot of expats there when I was there.
People like John Cleese and Jonathan Lynn and Jeff Lynne
from ELO and George Harrison, who were all moaning
about being in LA but who were kind of a support network,
it was fantastic.
So they looked after me when I was over there.
I've had it with pass-agg script offers.
That's the way they give me pressures to change my body.
Because I am well aware I have a body that looks like it is
made out of cheese string and I have had quite a lot of pressure to hit
the gym and try and get the marvel body and I've said
absolutely not happening.
And then the last time I was in LA my agent sent me a script
and they said, you need to read this because there is a part in it that
is perfect for you.
It is like it was written for you, read the part of Frosty,
and call me back.
And I got the script and I found the part of Frosty,
the part that was written for me and the character description was
a scheming and feeble heroin addict.
I get it, I have to go to the gym.
And, Nadiya, when you found success after Bake Off, did you feel
any pressure to kind of change your look?
You know what, I think in my industry people think it's like
it doesn't exist but it absolutely does.
I think the first time I did my first cookery show one
of the comments that were eventually relayed to meet weeks or months
later was she should probably stop wearing wool because it
makes her look like she eats a lot of that cake.
Yeah, yeah, comments like that do exist.
And it's really hard for it not to affect you, but I grew up
in an immigrant house with Bangladeshi parents.
All I am saying is I have heard worse.
So I can take it.
Is it OK?
Absolutely not, but, yes, comments like that all the time.
Right, hands in the middle.
We will not be body shamed by any fucker ever again!
CHEERING
Although...
Although?
Jamaican women will stop me in the street if I put weight on.
And we all experience the pressure to get the Mary Berry bod.
Not listening to that any more.
Absolutely brilliant! Lenny Henry,
