You are always going on about "not enough black representation on TV", but where was the white representation on your show Mr Henry?

I didn't watch...er listen to the show but if anyone did, was Lenny Henry having a go at Amjad Bashir?

I can see that as the only reason he was invited on the show.
Lenny Henry is never happy unless he's bleating on about ethnic minorities. I went to see him live once and while the show was quite good, he never missed an opportunity to bemoan the plight of coloureds !! And yet, he married a white woman and is dating one now, so he can't hate us whites all that much !
Looks like it wasn't a fluke either:

Perhaps it's just ignorant people who don't really know what Lenny Henry does who still think of him as 'a comedian'?

Personally, I think of him as a serious actor now, but that's only because I've seen him as Othello. I don't have the advantage of those who only see him on Comic Relief and base their ideas on that alone.
