About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Unseen, written and read by Reggie Yates.

From Grange Hill to Top of the Pops, Reggie Yates has been on camera nearly all of his life, but it's as a documentary filmmaker - and a pretty fearless one at that - where he has truly been making his mark, investigating everything from gun crime in Chicago to life as a refugee in Iraq.

In his first book, Unseen, Reggie takes us behind the scenes on his journey from TV host to documentary storyteller. Using some of the key moments and extreme circumstances he has found himself in, Reggie examines what he has learned about the world and about himself as a person.

Beginning as a brief exploration of Reggie's relationship with the camera and life growing up on screen, Unseen explores the journey Reggie has taken in the documentary world. Initially resistant to documentary making, Reggie was convinced his point of view as a young black working-class man with a history in music, children's TV and entertainment would not make his films remotely credible. Through conflict and challenges onscreen, the understanding gained from the very thing once seen as a weakness would become his strength on camera, as the eye of the everyman and voice of the audience.

Unseen unpicks the stories behind the fascinating characters and situations Reggie encounters across a series of films as well as chronicling the personal growth through each testing shoot for Yates himself.

Despite being a fan of Reggie Yates I had no idea just how much he'd experienced throughout his career presenting. Seeing the edited documentaries are nothing compared to what is mentioned in this book.

would recommend for sure!

As a author narrator: he couldn't have been more researched, thoughtful and passionate. well done.

This was easy to listen to. Reggie has a great patter and addresses lots of interesting topics. For me, the content is a bit light, the style is deliberately open. Some of the stories/chapters need a little more adding to balance the narrative. I hope that people read into a few of these topics before referencing only this in conversation.

Easy and entertaining

I enjoyed listening to the book and enjoyed listening to many of Reggie’s stories, however as I have seen many of his documentaries some of it it did not feel like new material. The book is better aimed at someone who doesn’t know that much about Reggie and his projects I believe.

this is such a great account on Reggie's life so far! I'm excited to see what more can come from this man!

Being a follower of Reggie I
expected there to be adventurous journeys new to me in this book. It seems rather he recaps what he has already done - I guess this seems like a book for those new to Mr. Yates
