Lenny Henry as Doctor Who

[purplecat]

Screen Shot from a skit in the Lenny Henry Show. I believe Lenny Henry will be in Doctor Who for real next season though not, alas, as the Doctor*


*Not that I've anything against Jodie Whittaker, but I think Henry would probably also make a great Doctor, though in a different way.

I think he would make a good Dr Who too.

A bit more "light entertainment" than we've had with the new series, though I think he's got the acting chops to pull it off. Mind you, I imagine fan reaction would be like Catherine Tate all over again, but with added racism.

Rather unfunny sketch as I recall; I think it's an extra on the Trial of a Time Lord box set.

I'm not sure I've seen it since it first aired. I have a vague memory it goes for all the obvious "what the man-in-the-street thinks is Doctor Who" kind of targets plus Margaret Thatcher.
