With his mother’s mantra of ‘H’integration’ echoing in his ears, Lenny will recount setting out on his rollercoaster ride of a career - but at every stage wondering: Am I good enough? Is this what they want? In part two,Lenny will be interviewed by friend, broadcaster and author Jon Canter, for further insights into his life and career.
