, Powell's offering us £1,000 to go home. I'll take the money: the train fare's only 10 quid from here to Dudley.
At first I thought it was really funny, but the warning bells went off when I saw the first publicity poster for it.

Sir Lenworth George Henry is a British comedian, actor, presenter and writer. He gained success as a stand-up comedian and impressionist in the late 1970s and early 1980s, becoming a regular cast member of the children's entertainment show Tiswas and the sketch comedy show Three of a Kind. In 1984, he began The Lenny Henry Show, which ran until 2005 and varied between sketch show and sitcom during its run. He was the most prominent black British comedian of the late 1970s and 1980s, and much of his material served to celebrate and parody his African-Caribbean roots.
