Check out this bizarre interview that was featured on The Word with Miranda on Ujima Radio on Friday 14 Sept. Her guest, Maggsy has a series on Amazon Prime with local award winning filmaker Paul Holbrook. Maggsy starts by saying how he thought it was going to be a show with Miranda Hart...you can imagine how quickly it went down hill from there..Paul Holbrook called in raging that Maggsy was using his name to promote his show...it ended with security having to escort Maggsy out of the studio...without doubt one of the weirdest interviews I have ever done...
