Have computers changed the way you approach your writing? Dawn [French] always used to say I had lots of scribbled-on bits of paper but I never actually wrote anything. Using a computer made me try to write things and finish them off. Since getting my Mac G4, I've written three or four screenplays and treatments for TV series. I learnt to type using Mavis. If I look at my Work folder on my hard drive, I've got all my stand-up stuff that dates back to 1991 so I can quickly reference it and find out if I've done a joke before. The only glitch seems to be that my G4 can't really read MIME files so when I'm sent those it's always a problem. Whenever I send a document to Tiger Aspect, they run a different set-up so they have to get their IT guy to decode my emails!

Any special scriptwriting software? I mainly use Word. Jennifer Saunders uses Final Draft, which I found too elaborate. What's great about show business is that someone else can worry about formatting it. Spellchecker is a godsend as the least you can do with a script is make sure it's punctuated and spelt properly.

Do you surf the net much? I use Google, www.amazon.co.uk and www.barnesandnoble.com. I like the online library www.questia.com, www.theguardian.com and www.bbc.co.uk. I'm surprised how straight some comedians' websites are - some are very serious indeed! Harry Hill's is a funny site, though, as is Ali G's.

Any plans for your website? There are a few unofficial sites but I'm designing a site for LennyHenry.com, which I have the rights for. That should be up and running shortly. I'm going to have a web diary, archives, and possibly a couple of competitions for comedy writing.

Comic relief? You can still donate via www.comicrelief.com and there are video clips you can watch. I'm on the speaking clock for Comic Relief. It's weird to have someone doing silly stuff on the speaking clock when you dial 123.

Data loss? I've lost stuff loads of times. The other day I spent an hour and a half on something and forgot to save it so ended up having to do it all over again. Sometimes you end up improving it. Emma Thompson once lost an early draft of Sense and Sensibility but Stephen Fry managed to retrieve it.

Favourite gadgets? My iPod is fantastic! Every time I buy a CD it goes straight on to iTunes and into the iPod. It's great having all the music I like in one machine - so much better than having to carry loads of CDs!
