I don't know. I flicked to it, cringed and switched over. p'haps it's part of an 80s revival thing Grin

I saw him performing years ago in the West End - dull as dishwater, very dated humour.

mrsjay · 07/01/2012 13:40

I watched it for 15 minutes gawd it was shit keep your chracters in the 80s lenny and just work for comic relief , really dated i used to love L H but meh .

Why is he the only black man on tv, is he hogging the limelight and not letting any other black comedian on the bandwagon? it reminds me definitely of the 80's when there are no other black entertainers, his not exactly Richard Pryor either.

mrsjay · 07/01/2012 13:52

why do the BBC push him out every 5 years to do a new unfunny project ? give it up lenny ,

I lasted 1 minute before I turned over.

How could it possibly be Lenny Henrys fault that there are no black comedians on prime time? Hmm They don't get together and vote for just one allowed at the time.

And I don't think you mean bandwagon either.

I would rather see Reginald D Hunter with his own show.

Apparently he went to RADA.

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2012 19:03

But do they not run these comedy shows in front of a panel or something? To make sure they are funny?

mrsjay · 07/01/2012 20:08

Reginald D hunter does mock the week alot he is funny he had his own show on comedy central well special , stephen k amos did a programme it didnt really work on the bbc dunno why ? sparkling im not sure i think they are comissioned its the same with the impression show its just not funny at all ,

I saw Reg live last year, and he was great.
