Lenny Henry’s Race Through Comedy

Lenny Henry presents an illuminating 3-part overview of comedy and race since the 1970’s, exploring how sit-coms such as Love Thy Neighbour and comedians like Charlie Williams changed the face of comedy. Co-star of Britain’s first all-black sitcom The Fosters, he traces the genre’s shift from slur and stereotype – Curry & Chips, Mind Your Language - to such recent successes as Citizen Khan and Chewing Gum.
