Slapstick 2008 presents a delightful evening discovering the genius of Buster Keaton alongside two of Britain's best-loved entertainers. Former 'Goodies' and current I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue panellists Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden choose their favourite Keaton short films, revealing the works that have influenced their lives and which, we trust, will delight new audiences. Along with a special montage of Goodies scenes influenced by the great comic and extraordinary evening of music, laughter and family entertainment.
