The Lenny Henry Show
The Lenny Henry Show is a comedy sketch show (and in its 1987–1988 incarnation, a sitcom) featuring Lenny Henry. It was originally broadcast between 1984 and 1988, and was later revived twice, in 1995 and 2004–2005.[1][2][3] HistoryOriginal version (1984–1985)The original version of the show ran for two series on BBC 1 in 1984 and 1985. Each series had six episodes. A 40-minute special was aired in December 1987. Recurring guests include Nicholas Lyndhurst (3 episodes) and Robbie Coltrane (2 episodes). Bands featured on the 1984 series included Musical Youth and Second Image.[4] Sitcom incarnation (1987–1988)Two further series broadcast in 1987–1988 kept the same name,[5] but followed a sitcom (rather than sketch-based) format. This version starred Henry as Delbert Wilkins, a well-meaning but trouble-prone pirate radio DJ at the fictional Brixton Broadcasting Corporation. At the end, Wilkins went "legit", gaining a job with the BBC World Service, and a son.[6] 1995 revivalThe show was revived for one series in 1995; it failed to pick up audiences and was cancelled after its first run.[7] 2004–2005 revivalLenny Henry revived the format once again in 2004 for two series of 8 episodes, containing stand-up and recurring sketches with recurring appearances by Gina Yashere.[8] 2020 Radio 4 revivalThe show was revived for a six-part BBC Radio 4 series in 2020.[9] TransmissionsSeries
