In the launch episode of this brand new series NG Meets we sit down with Henry Normal. Born in Nottingham, Henry started life as a poet before moving into the world of comedy, and launched Baby Cow Productions with comedy legend Steve Coogen. Over the years Baby Cow have been behind some of the biggest comedies on television and Henry was co-writer on one of the biggest comedy shows of the 1990's The Royle Family. Having stepped down from his role as MD in Baby Cow Henry now focuses his time on poetry and has released several anthologies, he was also co-founder of the Nottingham Poetry Festival. Here Henry talks to us about his poetry and the literary scene in Nottingham. He also talks about raising an autistic son and how attitudes and support has changed over the years.
