He says: “With huge success of Paul Merton’s Silent Clowns on BBC4 this is a unique opportunity to see Paul live introducing the great comics of the past that have influenced so many of today's comedians, including Paul. I think people will be amazed by the quality and talent of artists they may never even have heard of – the films are still relevant, and, most importantly, just as funny, today as they were eighty years ago.”
