Mark Dean

Available for over a year

Lenny Henry says the presence of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people in the broadcasting industry is "appalling" and fails to reflect modern Britain because the people making the decisions are almost entirely white. In this extract, the BBC's Mark Dean speaks to Simone Pennant, founder of the TV Collective, an online resource supporting diverse people working in the media, about the comedian's comments.
