Silence is golden (video)

Following the success of his BBC4 series Silent Clowns, Paul Merton will be sharing his passion for the greatest comedians of the silent age at Plymouth Pavilions on Tuesday, November 27.

There’ll be a selection of clips from stars like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Roscoe Arbuckle and Charley Chase, finishing with a complete showing of a silent comedy masterpiece (which probably won’t feature The Chuckle Hounds).

You can pick up tickets from the Pavilions website - but before you do, check out this five-minute look at the films of Harold Lloyd. And remember, don’t try this at home, viewers!
