This week Martin talks to the multi-talented award-winning British Indian presenter, performer and producer Parle Patel who will be starring in Cinderella this Christmas at The Beck Theatre in Hayes.

Parle and Martin discuss the strong parallels between pantomime and forms of entertainment already popular with South Asian Communities and how he hopes his role in panto can act as a bridge to introduce more members of the South Asian community to the world of pantomime. Parle also explains how he got into the entertainment industry and talks about his hugely successful and varied career that developed from a childhood love of performing.
