Lenny Henry, thank you so much.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE So Lenny Henry there...

at the Riverside Studios, celebrating Riverside Studios' 50th anniversary.

And he's on tour now.

I do really recommend seeing Lenny Henry on tour.

Well, it's called Lenny Henry is Still at Large.

The tour has just begun.

It goes on, I think, until November.

Well, you can see how funny he is, but how interesting he is.

I think you will enjoy seeing him on stage.

He literally is travelling the length and breadth of the country.

I think I'm going to catch him when he's at the Buxton Opera House.

It's one of my favourite theatres in the land, built by Frank Matram, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm a bit of a theatre buff, as you know, and I'll be in a theatre this time next week.

Yeah, the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London, one of the most beautiful theatres in the world.

I won't be on stage.

I'll be in the stalls bar with one of the most unusual actors of our time, also a film star.

We're very lucky on Rosebud.

We get to meet some really remarkable people.
