Preview - Lenny Henry: A Life on Screen

Sir Lenny Henry has been part of British TV since the 1970s when he won talent show New Faces in 1975 at the age of 16. Since then he's done sitcoms, sketch shows, stand-up, the stage, children's TV and charity work.

Hard to imagine why Kim Fuller's nimble comedy is going out here when, nightly at 6.30pm, there's mainly preaching and screeching. Here's the start of a new series of medieval goings-on, with wonderful James Fleet as Sir John, bewildered by his children, at the mercy of twists of fate which sound very familiar to modern ears. It's the age of dungeons but everything (apart from Merlin's talking sausages) is pretty much like today, from WAGs being forbidden to go with their knights on Crusades, to Sir John Chilcot's enquiry into Dragons of Mass Destruction.
