he was great in Phoenix Nights... played himself...

Larrald "Kenny" Senior

Played by himself, Kenny Senior, (not to be confused with the footballer Kenny Dalglish) is Norwich's biggest liar. Most of his statements are either vastly exaggerated or complete lies, he is something of a Walter Mitty. According to him, amongst other things he has played swingball in Pwllheli with Robert De Niro, slept with Bonnie Langford, appeared on Centre Court at Wimbledon despite being unseeded, and got Jackie Chan a price for some paint. His role within the club is unclear, however in the first episode in Series 1, he is seen on the roof, getting the lights ready.

Interestingly, in some instances it is left unclear whether Kenny may actually be telling the truth. In episode 3 of the first Series, Kenny tells fire safety officer Keith Lard of his days firefighting in Mexico with Red Adair. Lard responds sarcastically, challenging Kenny to speak in "Mexican". Kenny responds in fluent Spanish, but nobody hears.

Examples of Kenny's more flagrant lying include:

"I'm very friendly with the SAS!" - Kenny Senior
"But you see you're not Kenny!" - Brian Potter

"Can you get mules in Japan?" - Joyce
"I can!" - Kenny Senior
