Three of a Kind(1981)

Three of a Kind is a British comedy sketch show that aired on the BBC from 1981 to 1983, starring Tracey Ullman, Lenny Henry, and David Copperfield across three series. The program became a launching pad for major talent on both sides of the camera. Ullman and Henry went on to prominent careers—Ullman pursued a brief pop career in 1983 before starring in the ITV sitcom Girls On Top and later finding major success in American television, while Henry received his own BBC series, The Lenny Henry Show, in 1984 and has remained active in British television since. The show also showcased emerging writers including Rob Grant, Doug Naylor, Ian Hislop, and Nick Revell. Copperfield's career trajectory differed markedly, with limited visibility after the series concluded.
