[edit] Information

Paul Merton goes in search of the origins of screen comedy in the forgotten world of silent cinema - not in Hollywood, but in pre-1914 Britain and France. Revealing unknown stars and lost masterpieces, he brings to life the pioneering techniques and optical inventiveness of the virtuosos who mastered a new art form. With a playful eye and comic timing, he combines the role of presenter and director to recreate the strange world that is early European cinema in a series of cinematic experiments.
