00:00I think Patrick Stewart is an icon and was a great role model for me growing up both as someone
00:06who
00:06loved Star Trek The Next Generation and thought that Captain Picard was the best of all of the
00:12Starfleet captains right through to treading the boards in Shakespeare and you know a love
00:19of English literature. He also spoke directly to me I mean I come from a working class background
00:24and I look up to Patrick Stewart and what he was able to achieve and he inspired millions of
00:31people to reach for the stars and whether it was Shakespeare or Star Trek I think he had an
00:37amazing cultural impact but also his campaigning on so many justice issues including domestic
00:42violence I think he was inspirational and there aren't many people like him in the world and
00:47it's it's sad to see one of those stars go out
