The Lenny Henry Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lenny Henry Show was a comedy sketch show featuring Lenny Henry. It ran for two seasons on BBC 1, in 1984 and 1985. Each season had six episodes. A 40-minute "special" was aired in December, 1987.

Recurring guests include Nicholas Lyndhurst (3 episodes) and Robbie Coltrane (2 episodes).

Two further series followed in a sitcom format, starring Henry as Delbert Wilkins, a well-meaning but trouble-prone pirate radio DJ. At the end, Wilkins went "legit", gaining a job with the BBC World Service, and a son.

[edit] The second incarnation

Lenny Henry revived the format in 2004 and 2005, with stand-up and recurring sketches.

Hugh Laurie appeared in the role of a Professor with a space probe called the Beagle in 2004.
