BBC Radio 4 - The Lenny Henry Show, Episode 4

Character-based sketch show for modern times from Lenny Henry.

Brand new character-based sketch show for modern times from Lenny Henry.

Another helping of character-based sketch comedy for modern times from Lenny Henry.

There's more from Paul's Brixton Bibliotheque, Batman learns how to be woke, Deakus talks about his kids and how he met Claudette, and we go into space to meet new character Tyrone who's just trying not to be the black guy who gets killed first on every time.

Also, there's highlights from music podcast Vinyl's Great No Matter What My Ex-Wife Says, which features an interview with famous blues musician Charlie Johnson III, and the first instalment from outrageous Jamaican gameshow Box Mi Down, where contestants have to answer questions correctly or else get, well, boxed down.

Cast includes Lenny Henry, Vas Blackwood, George Fouracres and Cherrelle Skeete.

Written by Lenny Henry and Max Davis, with Athena Kugblenu and Kim Fuller.

Music by Lawrence Insula

Produced by Sam Michell
A Douglas Road and Tiger Aspect production for BBC Radio 4
