Private Notes
One of Britain's most enduring and best-loved comics, Ronnie Corbett, turned 80 in December 2010. In this brand new comedy sketch show, the octogenarian comic legend appears alongside some of the biggest names in British comedy, in sketches featuring everything from a superannuated super-hero to a stage-struck dog. Add in a sprinkling of one-liners and a brand new Ronnie monologue in the famous chair for the must-see comedy of the festive season.
Lenny Henry showcases brand new stand-up combined with characters reprised from his early career and some new sketches. For the first time in twenty years, Lenny reprises a favourite from his Lenny Henry Show days, pirate radio DJ, Delbert Wilkins. Smooth talking Donovan Bogarde returns still in hot pursuit of Mrs Johnson and new sketches include a Twilight spoof and a send up of Cee Lo Green's Forget You.
Legendary comedian Jasper Carrott returns to the BBC after 13 years for a comedy special of brand new stand-up material, together with a reprise of The Detectives with Robert Powell; a sketch with his daughter, The Office star Lucy Davis; and a song from his house band, with Rick Wakeman and ELO drummer Bev Bevan.
Actor and adventurer Griff Rhys Jones returns to sketch comedy at the BBC, 15 years after Smith and Jones. Joining him in a whole host of new sketches are some of the biggest names in TV, including Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hollander and Larry Lamb, plus a special guest appearance by Mel Smith in a new Head to Head sketch.
