Host and funny man Lenny Henry takes us through a bunch of clips of classic British TV comedies and interview with those men who starred in them. I could have done with less host and more of everything else. Henry wasn't that funny as the host but he was hysterical in the clips from his TV show, Chef. If you're into Britcoms then you'll really dig this doc. Otherwise, run awayyyyyyyyyyyyy.
