Chapter 2: How did Lenny Henry's early experiences shape his comedy?
Sir Lenny Henry joins us on Dish today. I know.
Have you ever crossed paths with Lenny Henry? Years and years ago. Yeah. I think he did something for Gordon. I don't know what. Or maybe it was something for Comic Relief.
Well, so Lenny is with us today to talk about a brand new stage show that he's doing. It's going to be touring across the country to celebrate five decades in the industry. He won a talent show called New Faces at the age of 16 in 1975.
That's incredible. Wow. Yeah.

We also want to talk to him about playing Othello.
Yes.
We want to talk to him about Comet Relief, of course, and also 50 years in the industry.
It's quite incredible, really.
It really is. So before we get Selenium, should we talk about the star ingredient of what we're going to cook for Lenny?
Yeah, we're going to have scallops.
Oh. They don't look great uncooked, do they?
They don't look great uncooked. They don't look great by themselves. No, no. And we're going to have those with a fantastic pasta dish.
Yes.

Chapter 4: What is the recipe for seared scallop & tomato tagliatelle?
So, yeah, I think they're going to be delicious. And scallops are in season. They're pretty much all year round, to be fair. You can have them roasted or you can have them raw, like a carpaccio. People love them. They're slightly sweet scallops. So you like a little bit of citrus to counterbalance that. And I think something that goes really well with it is a really light curry seasoning.
Cauliflower goes well with them as well. Capers, all that sort of thing. Some people cook them in the shell and they do like caper butter with some garlic and pancetta. Peas go really well with scallops. They're very versatile.
And just get them off the fish counter.
You can get them off the fish counter.
Chapter 5: How does Lenny Henry describe his encounter with Prince?
You know, they come in a shell. When they're super fresh, you slice the shell open and then you take them out. And you can use all the scallops. So you have the roe there, which is basically the orange muscle that's attached to the scallop. A lot of people might throw that away, but you can eat that. It's really delicious.
How long do you reckon you cook in that big chunky scallop for?
Very small time, couple of minutes. You don't want them because the thing about scallops, they go rubbery. If you overcook them, you don't want them. So it's a very hot pan. Boom, boom, quick flash.
That's it. Done. Well, thank you, Ange.
Chapter 6: What insights does Lenny share about his role in Comic Relief?
Well, let's get our guest in. Let's welcome Selenie Henry.
Hi, how are you?
How are you? Nice to meet you.
I'm a fanboy. Oh, nice to meet you. We're fans. I'm a big fanboy. Nice things. Yeah, good. We're all right. Yeah, we're ready. I love what you've done with the place. Do you like it?
Chapter 7: What are Lenny's thoughts on the importance of seasoning food?
It's gorgeous. Do you love it? I love it. Come on in. We'll get you a drink and get you something to eat. Come sit, yeah. Now, Angela, we often joke, and it is a joke, about how long we've been doing Dish. Sometimes you're like, oh, I can't believe we've been doing it four years. When's it going to be over? Again, that's a joke. It's always a joke. And so we've been going on now over four years.
And joining us today, a man who's been at the top of his game for over 50 years, an actor, writer, comedian, broadcaster, and certified inspiration, Selenie Henry, everybody. Come on. Yes.
Chapter 8: How does Lenny Henry plan to continue his career in entertainment?
Welcome, Selene. Thank you very much. How lucky you brought your audience with you. Yes. It's 15 people on the street. Get in here. We don't have to pay anything. Just get in. That's food. That's food. We feed them.
We feed them. Welcome to Dish. It's really nice to be here.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming. Who's those guys? It's really nice to be here. Thank you for coming on and congratulations on your new theatre show. My new theatre show. Yes, which is still at large, which, as I said, is celebrating your career. 50 years.
In showbiz. Yeah, it's not about my career, but it's also celebrating. When I grew up in Dudley in the West Midlands, we were, over there was Enoch Powell, the rivers of blood. And over there was Peter Griffiths, who sort of stormed an election with the phrase, if you want an N word for a neighbour, vote Labour. Sorry to bring you down. But I lived in the middle of that.
So I grew up being bullied and having racist abuse told at me going to school. And this show, doing this now in the 21st century, it's funny, but it's also extraordinary that we're still going through sexism, racism, homophobia, all of those things. And it makes an observation, not in a big finger-wavy way, that these things are going on and we have to be alert.
So it's all right being funny, but you've got to be funny in the right way and be talking about things that matter. So I'm trying to do that. As well as talking about going to garden centers and my girlfriend being better at cleaning than I am. So I'm talking about all kinds of things which I never thought I'd be talking about on stage. Yeah.
Because I didn't think I was going to be doing stand-up anymore. I thought I was done. Yeah. After Comic Relief, being knighted by the Queen, the face of Premier Inn.
Yeah.
