am i in a time warp? lenny henry on bbc1

[mycatsaysach]

why?

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

doing all the same jokes as he did 25 years ago... ayah ayah Katanga my friend

I was just thinking the same thing-it's shit. Only 3 minutes til Celeb BB though.

My 10 yr old found it right up his street

ugh wasn't funny then not funny now

felt sorry for his co stars

Shite.

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

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.

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? 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.

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

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.
