Chris Hawkins sits in and chats to Baroness Floella Benjamin

Chris Hawkins sits in and talks to actress and much-loved children’s television presenter Baroness Floella Benjamin about her autobiography What Are You Doing Here?

Chris Hawkins sits in for Reverend Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad and presents uplifting stories about life, love and modern spirituality, alongside a great soundtrack for your Sunday morning.

This morning his guest is actress and much-loved children’s television presenter Baroness Floella Benjamin - who became a household name in the mid 70s and 80s as the host of Playschool. Chris chats to Floella about her incredible journey from arriving in London as a child as part of the Windrush generation, to finding a purpose in life, campaigning for the needs of children.

Also, actor, writer and comedian Jessie Cave joins to chat about her debut novel Sunset, a deeply moving and painfully funny story about love, grief and reconciliation.

Plus, Pause for Thought.
