Great British Film - Meet Gordon Warnecke who played OMAR in My Beautiful Laundrette

We're celebrating a British film classic from the 1980s - the ground-breaking My Beautiful Laundrette which tackled racism, sexuality and a variety of social, economic and political issues facing Britain at the time. Multi Oscar winning actor Daniel Day Lewis and Gordon Warnecke were the joint leads in the film. Daniel played gay punk Johnny and Gordon was his asian boyfriend Omar. 35 years on, Gordon has been reminiscing about his part in a film which at the time broke loads of taboos and is listed as one of the greatest British films of all time.
