Sir Leonard Henry

Lenny isn't short for Leonard. It's actually Lenworth. Show a bit of respect HHSV.

Are you sure it wasn't Ainsley Harriot?

Its an easy mistake to make apparently (especially if you are ITV news).

oh ok nick I stand corrected

His mum and dad Winifred and Winston always liked the name Leonard but got carried away near  the Pick-n-Mix section in Wollworths!!!  apparently,!!!

Not someone I'd go out my way to watch. In fact, he did a free lunchtime gig near where I worked about 12 years back. I think he was trying out some new material.

Not really bothered either way, doesn't normally annoy me but his last Apollo gig when he resorted to shouting thinking this made everything funny, (why do so many 'Comedians' do that)was really annoying.

Did David Cameron attend? it would have been a nice touch to have the Premier in.

Probably didn't Dawn on him.

He was too busy talking to the French.

Well deserved award to a great comedian, actor and charity fund raiser.

was funny

Sir Lenny said "there's a lot of work to be done in the furthering of diversity™ behind the camera."


Absolutely - BBC please take note ...

Now SIR LENNY HENRY.

Very bad mistake for ITV to show a clip of Ainsley Harriot, some lazy researcher or someone's done it on purpose for a laugh.
So awkward and should not have happened, it was like a Ricky Gervais comedy sketch. Wonder if Sir Lenny laughed.

Does that mean @rsing about to persuade poor people to part with their money?
If so, well done Lenny.

Ainsley Harriott was Sir Lenny's stunt double in Chef -- Ainsley did the fast vegetable chopping while the camera focussed on his hands.

Was he also his stunt double when he he was married to Dawn French.

Could this be the great man in one of his earlier forays into diversity™ ?

The Great Man famously 'regrets' his time in that unmentionable programme. You know, the one that had weekly viewing fingers that lefty comedians would kill for.

Oh dear! thank gawd there is nothing of mine from years ago posted on line,..... fingers crossed

Does this mean Dawn French out of French and Saunders is now Lady Henry?

No fsb, divorced in 2010, she remarried in2013. perhaps Lady dawn wouldn't be a bad name for a fill though??

Lenny Henry is about as funny as my Betfair P and L statement!

Foxy as far as I'm aware this is till the only dodgy image of you doing the rounds of the internet.

Jesus, nearly brought my dinner up! Lenny and Dawn must have spent a fortune on 'proceedures' to get to get from that look to how they are today.

How is the Sultana HH? Has she managed to lose a bit of weight since them days?
