Rudolph Walker
Anita Rani discovers what Christmas means to actor Rudolph Walker, from his early years in Trinidad to sitcom stardom, homelessness and his role as Patrick Trueman in EastEnders.
Anita delves into a lifetime of Christmas memories with actor Rudolph Walker CBE, best known for playing Patrick Trueman in EastEnders. His story takes him from a modest Trinidadian childhood to breaking theatrical boundaries in the UK, before achieving household fame in the now controversial sitcom Love Thy Neighbour. They discuss Patrick's memorable encounters with Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and Muhammad Ali, and how, in later years, he became homeless before his faith helped him find the strength to rebuild his life. There are surprise messages and gifts, and Anita also pays a very special visit to Albert Square.
