Sir Lenny Henry

Instead of Thunderbird 3, we had a rocket with such sharp edges that when you opened it, it sliced your palm open.

We didn't have Barbie, we had...

Tracy or Tressie, her hair didn't grow.

We had things like that in our house.

We had a house that was on the corner of the street and our house, we had the cesspit underneath our house.

So our house was on top of everybody else's waste in the street.

And every summer it would overflow during the rainy season and we'd literally be walking through the whole street's movements.

And you'd call the water thing and they'd come and they'd sort it out.

But that happened every year.

For a while, we all shared a bed.

That's me and Paul and Kenneth and Michael, which were my nephews, but we were all kind of the same age, but we all shared a bed.

And that was chaotic, especially if somebody wet the bed.

It was like, ship ahoy!

But we all shared a bed.

And then I got my own bed, about 14, I got my own bedroom.

And it was the little one where the boiler was, so it was warm.

And I loved it.

I put things on the wall.
