Jamaican author pens book about his father and childhood in 1970s Luton
A man who grew up in Luton as the son of Jamaican emigrants has written a book about his childhood in the town in the 1970's.
'Bageye at the Wheel' was recently nominated for the prestigious Pen / Ackerley prize for memoir.
It's Colin Grant's personal tale of immigration but at the heart of the story is his father Bagaye, a nickname given to him because of puffy bags under his eyes.
In this clip, Colin tells Nesta McGregor it was a complex relationship.
