      James Jackson Times (UK) Lenny Henry, presenting alongside Suzy Klein, was certainly on ebullient form, screaming with laughter when his hat blew off, ruining his take. Rated: 4/5 Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Phil Harrison Guardian Does an appropriately unapologetic job of illuminating the racism underpinning the classical canon. Rated: 5/5 Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) Part of the problem was Henry, who looked as if he had walked on to the wrong set. He seemed constantly worried people might ask what he thought of the music. Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Brian Donaldson Radio Times In this excellent 90-minute documentary, the lives of black classical musicians and composers are finally being made to matter. Rated: 4/5 Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Jessica Duchen The Arts Desk The presentation was lively, varied, and full of genuine delight at the spirit of discovery.
