I think he's much better known for Comic Relief than for Chef. I remember an interview with (I think) The Radio Times in which he said that "People who watch me on Comic Relief might wonder what I do for the rest of the year, if they're not into Chef." (not exact quote). Saul Taylor
Depends. Chef has at least some exposure this side of the Atlantic, while Comic relief gets none.
- However he is not a celeb outside the UK. A larger number of people will know him for Comic Relief.
Incidentally I find it hard to believe that up until I edited it, we had the man's real name wrong! It's been wrong for eighteen months. Where did we get Lenworth Hinton from? Pigsonthewing? DJ Clayworth 03:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
I always thought he was born Lenworth Hinton. My grandmother comes from the same community as Lenny's family (the Buffery area of Dudley) but only ever pointed out the house where he used to live, not any details about his family. He did put out a CD in late 2003 entitled "Have You Seen This Man" which did have a brief autobiography in the liner notes - I've still got the CD so I'll see if it says anything - after all, the words of Lenny himself can be considered a reputable source. 62.172.108.117 15:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chef!
I've removed "dreadful" from the sentence about this show since it's clear POV. The reason I'm mentioning it here as well is that I actually rather liked Chef!, so am declaring a bit of an interest. I'd have removed "fantastic" as well, though, as it would be equally POV. Something like "poorly received", or a quote from someone saying it was "dreadful", would be fine if someone can find a reference. Loganberry (Talk) 13:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Edits 9th May 2006
Why the revert all the way back to december? The article has improved somewhat since that date, and the revert appears to achieve little beyond removing information and re-introducing typographical errors. So I reverted back to yesterday's version. Blufive 19:37, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
