The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho is Paterson’s brilliant fictionalised tale inspired by this real-life Black writer, composer, shopkeeper and abolitionist. Until now Sancho’s extraordinary life has been largely hidden from view, but thanks to Paterson’s illuminating and candid book the name of a man who met the king and led the fight to end slavery is on everyone’s lips.

Paterson is best known for his roles in hit TV shows such as Casualty, Peep Show and Green Wing. Join him as he discusses his career, and the extraordinary story of a man born on a slave ship in the Atlantic Ocean, who became an influential social reformer and man of letters in Regency London.
