Episode 2
Reading from his colourful memoir, comedian and actor Omid Djalili explores his Iranian roots.
Omid remembers childhood visits to Iran and explores how it feels to belong to two very different cultures.
Comedian and actor Omid Djalili is one of Britain's funniest men. His memoirs take us through his unconventional childhood growing up in an Iranian household in London and chart his progression from serious acting into comedy.
It's a laugh-out-loud, intelligent and deeply touching journey through a fascinating life.
