A unique afternoon of music, laughter and family entertainment!

We launch our autumn Silent Film and Live Music series with a delightful afternoon discovering the genius of Buster Keaton, alongside two of Britain's best-loved entertainers.

Former ‘Goodies’, and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue panellists, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden, choose their favourite Keaton shorts (including his 1920 masterpiece comedy One Week), and explain how Keaton’s films have influenced their lives and work.

The programme also includes a special montage of Goodies’ scenes revealing the impact of Keaton on the Goodies’ comedy.

Presented in collaboration with Bristol's Slapstick Silent Comedy Festival and Bristol Silents (www.bristolsilents.org.uk).
