Adrian Lester, Lolita Chakrabati & The Big Share

Actor Adrian Lester and his wife, playwright Lolita Chakrabarti on their award-winning play Red Velvet.

Actors Adrian Lester and Lolita Chakrabarti are married - she's also a playwright, who spent 15 years researching and writing a play about Ira Aldridge, the most famous black actor you may never have heard of. They told Sarah and Nihal how long it took to get the play to the stage, and how it's now reached London's West End. Also, it's the Big Share, with the couple who crowd-funded their wedding, the man who has his back hair sculpted into art, and Tom Daley's beast of a frying pan.
