Dudley's Lenny Henry is going on tour in the Midlands
Lenny Henry is one of Britain's best-loved personalities and for much of his career the only, Black British comedian to achieve continued acceptance on mainstream telly.
That was helped, in part, by ITV's children's show TISWAS where he developed some of those celebrity impressions of David Bellamy and newsreader Sir Trevor McDonald.
The Dudley born comedian is back in the Midlands ahead of a new tour and he dropped in to ITV Central to have a chat with Sam and Bob.
Lenny Henry is one of the region's most famous sons and one of the country's favourite comedians. He started his showbiz career on the hit Central Television show Tizwas. Since then he's gone to demonstrate what a versitile performer he is.
Now a whole new audience is about to discover his talents. He's featuring in Disney's award winning animation series Phineas and Ferb. As Balvinder Sidhu reports he joins a guest list which includes David Beckham and Michael J Fox.
