The Rogues Gallery at Christmas

Lenny Henry writes and stars in his own twist-in-the-tale monologues.

He is happy there and he's able to work with other people of restricted height, surrounded by plenty of great facilities, including a well resourced workshop.

But soon the seasons change, the cold bites and his routine is upset by the arrival of an old, skinny man who A'dele must make every effort to look after...
