Family Matters
Lenny Henry sets out to discover what makes us laugh. His journey begins in the family, where humour is a way of dealing with tensions arising from the rites of passage.
The Labour Of Laughs
Lenny Henry tries his hand at a number of different jobs in Scotland to find out about the British sense of humour in the workplace. As a factory worker, a waiter, a fire-fighter, an office worker and finally a parking attendant, Lenny discovers that laughs at work are not always just about fun.
Something For The Weekend
Lenny Henry goes to Blackpool to see the British sense of humour on holiday. He discovers a pick and mix of good old-fashioned seaside sauciness, hen nights and 21st century drag acts.
Mind The Gap
We all belong to some kind of community which gives us a sense of identity, but what exactly does that 'c' word mean? Lenny Henry travels across Britain to find out if there's a shared community, and to see how it's expressed through humour.
