Mark Steel : Who Do I Think I Am?

Event Date: 
20/03/2016 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Corn Exchange, Exeter

It never really bothered me that I'd never met my mum.

It never occurred to me I needed to meet her to 'find out who I was', as it didn't seem likely I'd discover I was someone different to who I thought I was. Could it turn out I was three stone lighter than I thought, or I spoke Italian or supported Arsenal or had a fear of Liquorice Allsorts?
