Lenworth George Henry Quotes

• When I started, I was surrounded by a predominantly white workforce. Thirty-two years later, not a lot has changed.
• [on costume dramas] By the time Queen Victoria was on the throne, this country had a sizable black population, so where are they? You can’t move for bonnets and crinolines and the people wearing them are all white.

When you can cast a Somalian girl in your piece simply because she’s the best actress or when you can cast an Asian girl, and she is not playing the victim of an arranged marriage, or cast a bloke with dreadlocks not playing a drug dealer, then we will have something to work on.

• [on Till Death Us Do Part (1965)] Writer Johnny Speight tried to ensure that in each storyline, Alf came off the worst. But when I went to school the next morning, it was always me who came off worst. Context is everything. Alf Garnett was a ludicrous character, and in the right context pretty funny, but put him against the background of Enoch Powell’s “Rivers of Blood” speech – is he so funny then?
