:41:43. > :41:43.
:41:43. > :41:47.show and our worldment -- world. Now you've got this design -- black
:41:47. > :41:51.by design, your autobiography, marvellous book. I was moved by
:41:51. > :41:55.some of the things I started to see. Why did you decide toe write a book
:41:55. > :41:59.of your life now? I think basically because it was one of those things
:41:59. > :42:04.where I've always wanted to look at what identity means and
:42:04. > :42:08.particularly what identity meant to me at a time when multiculturalism
:42:08. > :42:12.is a thing being talked about. I was a mixed race child. I was
:42:12. > :42:15.brought up when Britain still had colonies in a white family. I kind
:42:15. > :42:22.of saw things from the other way round. My parents really brought me
:42:22. > :42:25.up as a little white girl N a way, I designed myself black. When Two
:42:25. > :42:33.Tone came along, the black and white image, playing music together,
:42:33. > :42:38.it was a perfect fit for me. And I just felt that was a story that was,
:42:38. > :42:43.I wanted to write and I wanted to see where it led. Was it enjoyable
:42:43. > :42:48.writing a book? Surprisingly, yes it was, very enjoyable. It led to
:42:48. > :42:54.having a bit of a renaissance and writing an album as well. Which is
:42:54. > :42:57.very G you were the queen of Two Tone. Who were the people you were
:42:58. > :43:04.listening to that you wanted to sound like when you first aware of
:43:04. > :43:08.music? Probably Milly Small when she brought out My Boy Lollipop.
:43:08. > :43:13.This was further on, probably only a couple of years before the Two
:43:13. > :43:20.Tone thing got together, I saw Polystyrene on Top of the Pops and
:43:20. > :43:30.thinking "I want to be her!" We've got something of Selecta here now
:43:30. > :43:30.
:43:30. > :44:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:44:12. > :44:16.Yes, marvellous! And having written your book, if you could, if you had
:44:16. > :44:20.met the ten-year-old you, and were going to give yourself some advice,
:44:20. > :44:24.what would you tell yourself to do? I would tell myself to do pretty
:44:24. > :44:28.much the same that I did. I don't really regret anything I did. It's
:44:28. > :44:32.been a learning process. It's all kind of carrying on in that way.
:44:32. > :44:37.I'm just pleased to be alive and be in a studio like this with other
:44:37. > :44:43.musicians, still doing those kind of things. Just seeing where it
:44:43. > :44:47.goes. You have also are an award winning actress. Is it something
:44:47. > :44:53.you've enjoyed? Do you enjoy that as much as music? I always enjoyed
:44:53. > :44:57.being an actress, particularly the Billy Holiday I won an award for.
:44:57. > :45:01.You get past a certain age, ladies of a certain age, I'm a lady of a
:45:01. > :45:06.certain age these days, the parts aren't as many as they are. For
:45:06. > :45:11.black actresses in this country of a certain age, there are less and
:45:11. > :45:17.less parts. Can you only play people's mothers so many times. I
:45:17. > :45:21.like music. I've always liked music. Are Selecta still performing?
:45:22. > :45:25.are indeed. This is the new album. This is as rare as hen's teeth, a
