Episode 6
Today I speak to writer, comedian, and television host Paul Merton. You will recognise Paul from the tv show Have I Got News For you. He has written books about silent comedy, and is a big fan of early cinema.
We talk about everything from his favourite film "The Great Dictator" to Chaplin's relationship with Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd. Do you agree that Chaplin's speech from the Great Dictator is the greatest of all speeches?
