Series 3, Episode 1 - Floella Benjamin

This week Victoria Coren Mitchell talks to the actress, singer, writer, business woman, and politician, Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham, known to millions of Play School viewers as Floella Benjamin.

Further details

Floella talks about her life and career including how her supremely happy childhood in Trinidad turned to unhappiness when her parents left her with a cruel foster family; the joy of being reunited with her mother and father when she came to England; learning to overcome racism with a smile; the freedom that came with passing her driving test and why when she became a peer she chose Baroness of Beckenham as her title.
