Anita Rani pays a Christmas visit to Baroness Floella Benjamin, a pivotal figure to generations of young TV viewers. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Floella arrived in London at the age of ten as part of the Windrush generation.
Together, they retrace that journey and reflect on Dame Floella's extraordinary life shaped by faith and the festive season: from stage actor and iconic Play School presenter to businesswoman, child rights campaigner, dame and baroness, and even playing a role in King Charles III's coronation.
