Archive Interactive: Paul Merton on Early British Comedy
 
 
Introduction

In the first of a new series developed in partnership with BT, comedian Paul Merton introduces an interactive guide to early film comedy in Britain. Join Paul as he takes you through a fascinating and sometimes bizarre world of 4-year-old boxing champions, human flies, pantomime-horse races and giant possessed fish, and explores the roots of today's distinctively British humour.
