Paul Merton's Silent Clowns  - One4Review

Having watched Paul Merton’s BBC4 series on his knowledge and love of silent comedy films, I was looking forward to spending the afternoon in his company viewing short film clips. Neil Brand played the piano whilst Paul interjected between clips about each film’s background, and the history of the silent film industry/ film stars. Clips included starred Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Snoop Pillard, ending on the full length Buster Keaton “Sherlock Jnr” It was great to see Paul’s enthuasism and joy about each clip and watching them, including Paul’s own The Suicide Dog, added to my existing love of silent films especially of Charlie Chaplin/ Laurel and Hardy.   The audience ranged from 10 years to over 60 years old. I hope that if some of the audience had came along to see Paul only, that the clips may have inspired them to see and know more. *****
