          <Synopsis length='long'><![CDATA[Neil Brand's fictionalised account of Stan Laurel paying a visit to see his dying comedy partner Oliver Hardy.

The drama is based around the time in 1957 when 'Babe' Hardy had suffered a major stroke that left him barely able to communicate. The poignant bedside scene is interwoven with flashbacks to how the pair met in the early days of Hollywood and how, despite their different personalities - the fierce driving ambition of Stan and the easy-going nature of Ollie - they went on to become one of the greatest comedy double acts ever.

During the 1930s there was a high demand for movies following the end of the silent era and the introduction of quotas for cinema chains. Casting couches creaked at Ealing, Pinewood and Shepperton as sex was on tap, while money was no object.

Some of the legends caught up in scandals were Alexander Korda, Tallulah Bankhead and Alfred Hitchcock. This programme contains some scenes of a sexual nature. [S]]]></Synopsis>

          <Synopsis length='long'><![CDATA[Paul Merton invites us to share his passion for silent comedy in this series of witty portrayals of some of early cinema's greatest stars.

3/4. Laurel and Hardy

They are perhaps the best loved comedians from the silent era, and they still enjoy a huge following around the globe. Paul Merton argues that although the pair are remembered more for their talkie features, their silent movie work is just as legendary and helped to refine their act to perfection.

Paul tracks the rise of Stan's career from his Cumbrian beginnings and that of Ollie's until they joined forces in 1927's Duck Soup. Paul also meets silent film accompanist and composer Neil Brand, who comes up with a unique score for one of Laurel and Hardy's best silent films, You're Darn Tootin'.

It gets a premiere at the Pordenone film festival - the biggest silent film festival in the world.

Part of BBC FOUR's Silent Cinema season. [S]]]></Synopsis>
