Sir Leonard of Henry

 

[Voley]

From The Mirror:

He added: "Perhaps we've made progress as far as on-screen representation is concerned, but there's a lot of work to be done in the furthering of diversity behind the camera.

Bloody hell. They've made his point for him haven't they?

that feature length 80s routine was a classic...ive a huge soft spot for Lenny ...a really happy part of my youth...so many little gags, songs and jingles that are stuck in my head after all these years...

[UrbaneFox]

I'm so pleased that Leonard has received an OBE for his work in the community. Hats off to you, sir!

I thought this thread was a complete wind-up. What the hell did Lenny Henry get a knighthood for?

Keeping in the spirit of the thread:

I don't know. Red nose day, probably. Or divorcing Dawn French.

 

[William of Walworth]

I hope his citation was for his acting in the most recent series of The Syndicate. He was absolutely brilliant in that

Isn't Lenny Henry that woman who everyone on the commentariat thread hates? What services has she done the monarch?

No that's Lenny Bruce, who presents Antiques Roadshow.

No that's Lenny Bruce, who presents Antiques Roadshow.

"I done another bad thing". That was his catchphrase.

You're confusing Lawrie McMenemy with John Terry.

 

[skyscraper101]

Srs post. Big up Lenny. He's a great bloke, and a much underated actor.

He deserved a knighthood over 30 years ago for having to sit through a tirade of racist jokes courtesy of Bernard Manning on live TV and not getting up and twatting him.

Easy mistake. But John Terry used to have a nightly chat show in the 80s and John McMenemy was Frasier in Dads' Army. (He was either the butcher or the radio psychiatrist).
