As "Sir '''Lenny Henry'''", the apparent '''9.5th Doctor''', and '''9.5th Comic Relief Host''' was a presenter for ''[[Comic Relief (in-universe)|Comic Relief]]''.

While getting ready in his dressing room to host ''Comic Relief'', he began feeling ill. [[Regeneration|Regenerating]] in front of a baffled production accident, he turned into a [[Fourteenth Doctor|new Doctor]] ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Lenny Henry Regenerates into David Tennant (TV story)|Lenny Henry Regenerates into David Tennant]]'') identical to the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] into whom the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] regenerated into another account. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'')

Although he is called "[[Lenny Henry]]" in dialogue, Henry's character in [[Lenny Henry Regenerates into David Tennant (TV story)|the minisode]] is identified as the "[[9.5th Doctor]]" in the title of the YouTube Short upload of the regeneration scene, and as the "9.5th Comic Relief Host" in the title of the Facebook upload of the full munisode. The YouTube upload simply used the actor names, Lenny Henry and David Tennnant.

Accepting the notion that Henry is to some degree playing the Doctor in this skit, this makes the second time that he did so, as he previously portrayed a parodical [[Seventh Doctor (The Lenny Henry Show)|Seventh Doctor]] in an [[Untitled (The Lenny Henry Show)|untitled sketch]]. However, there is nothing to connect the two portrayals, making this similar to [[Jim Broadbent]] and [[Richard E Grant]]'s two distinct portrayals of non-mainline Doctors.
