Lenny Henry in Pieces was a British stand-up and sketch show by comedians Lenny Henry and Gina Yashere. It aired on BBC One between 2000 and 2003. The show began with two Christmas specials in 2000 and 2001. The 2000 show won the Golden Rose of Montreux award. This was followed up by a six-part series in March 2002. A second and final series consisting of seven episodes began in March 2003. It was followed by The Lenny Henry Show, which also featured sketches. The primary feature of the show is the sketches, although Henry has a brief stand-up section in each episode.
When a customer asks Gloria to ring the police because her boyfriend is being attacked, the cashier puts a bet on which man will win, President Umbeleke finally uses government funding sensibly to build a hospital and inappropriately to eject hedgehogs into space, Clive buys the house next to Curtis so he can secretly be with his son and in the Polar Bear Family sketch, Shane and Ian trick Barry into believing he has laid an egg. The series finishes with Mrs Johnson going out to a restaurant for an evening meal on Valentine's Day, believing it has been set up by her boyfriend Franklin but it is in fact Donovan's doing. The randy OAP proposes to Mrs Johnson and she accepts.
