Lenny Henry at the Baftas; Decriminalizing licence fee evasion; L'Wren Scott coverage

Media news including Lenny Henry on ethnic diversity in broadcasting, Andrew Bridgen MP on decriminalising licence fee evasion, and Joan Smith on coverage of L'Wren Scott's death.

Following his BAFTA speech on Monday, Lenny Henry talks to Steve about why there is not enough ethnic diversity in broadcasting and what can be done to improve this.

Andrew Bridgen MP explains why he wants non-payment of the licence fee to be decriminalised - an idea that, according to reports, interests David Cameron.

And, has the coverage of L'Wren Scott's death breached editors' guidelines on handling private grief? Joan Smith picked up on the early online and front page reporting on Monday and Tuesday and tells Steve "it's as if Leveson never happened".
