Tintin
4 Extra Debut. Nick Danziger joins Matthew Parris to support the inclusion of Tintin in the pantheon of greats. With Michael Farr. From 2007.
Tintin breaks all this programme's rules - he didn't exist, and he hasn't died.
But photojournalist Nick Danziger makes a powerful case for the inclusion of the little Belgian reporter and his small dog among the pantheon of greats.
Presenter Matthew Parris seems more concerned about Tintin's sexuality - he lived with a sailor, there are no women and look at that hair - while Tintinologist Michael Farr attempts to keep the conversation on a higher plane.
The programme includes archive of Tintin's creator, HergΓ©.
Produced by Miles Warde.
First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in April 2007.
