Legends Of Comedy With Lenny Henry

Episode 1 - Paul Whitehouse

Sir Lenny delves into the amazing comedy creations of Paul Whitehouse - the master of sketches, comedy catchphrases and hilarious characters, from Julio Geordio to the 'very very drunk' Rowley Birkin QC. Alongside Paul's incredible opus, this comedy adventure takes in material from The Royle Family, Alan Partridge, Catherine Tate and Victoria Wood. Lenny meets Paul in the West End, where he's starring as Grandad in a stage version of Only Fools And Horses. Together, they explore a career of laugh-out-loud moments that spans over four decades, from The Fast Show to Gone Fishing. Lenny finds out how Paul created his famously funny characters, who he was inspired by and how his most creative collaborations came about with his chief partner in crime, Harry Enfield.
