Just a thought but why do white comedy actors have to "black up" to get laughs? Have you ever seen a black man "whiting up"? No, me neither. Having said that, I enjoyed this show and found myself smiling. I just hope that Walliams and Lucas don't flog every idea and sketch to the max as I think they will.

Actually, yes.
Lenny Henry for one in a comedy film.
I see your Henry and raise you a Wayans;

Back at ya with The National Theatre!
Poor old Lenny was in some decent stuff.
I think he was in atleast one rather good Comic Strip (the one taking the piss out of Le Carre) but he was playing a rubbish 80s comic.

It would be funnier if we had IMG tags.
We do! It's image instead of IMG
Of course, Eddie Murphy used to as well, not only "whiting up" for 'Saturday Night Live', but also "white Jew-ing up" in 'Coming To America'.

And pretending to f**k transsexual whores like it's going out of fashion.

Hoist on my own petard!
Oh, and by the way... don't know if I've mentioned this before, but... this is not a frigging sitcom!!! 
Nor is The League Of Gents, but try telling that to the monsters who run this place.

Of course it is.
That's that solved.
