Lenny Henry to star in a BBC Radio 4's new series Rogue's Gallery

Lenny Henry is to act in a new series of 'darkly comic, genre-bending monologues' for Radio 4.

Four 15-minute episodes of Rogue's Gallery will air in May, but despite mentioning the show in a press release today, the BBC is remaining tight-lipped about the content.

All they will say is: 'Every episode will feature a new character telling their tale, each of which have a sting in their tail.'

The show is being produced by Sam Michell of the BBC's in-house radio comedy department.

Episode 1 begins on Wednesday 18th May at 11pm on BBC Radio 4
