Later, television history.
Shows like Hancock's Half Hour were made there.
Later still, theatre history.
I've appeared there myself in a couple of shows.
Somebody who has appeared there before is Lenny Henry, which is why he was keen to come back to Riverside Studios to be part of Riverside Studios' 50th anniversary celebrations.
So this is a conversation, a Rosebud conversation, with me and Sir Lenny Henry and a special audience.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Actually, I'm almost certain that you will.
Cue the applause.
Good.
Well, we're going to begin at the beginning of your story.
It's a very good place to start.
That's where we're going to start.
OK.
And I have to ask you this question.
Lenny Henry, or, if I may say so, Lenworth.
So who was George?
Because it's Lenworth George Henry, isn't it?
I don't know.
Well done.
