I agree.

Those 2 Delbert Wilkins series were his best IMO.

DVD release, anyone at the BEEB?

Completely agree. I don't find him funny whatsoever. I try, I really do, but I just can't find him funny.

The show wasn't really great. I think Lenny Henry is really funny, the show is just not that good. Maybe he should just do stand-up or something.

I happened to catch a couple of minutes of it and it was better than predicted really, like the gag about the Star Wars lightsaber running out of power.

I enjoy Lenny Henry and would like to see him presenting a sort of Jonathon Ross/Frank Skinner type chat-show.

I don't think ANY comedian doing this type of sketch show would work in this day and age!

I loved the part of the stand-up where he was on about the gadgets and machines at the cinema:

" You have asked for a tube of onions for your Harry Potter , and 3 tickets for... "

Total class, he is!

I think he over did the CSI spoof. It went on too long.
