A series of six programmes 5:Larry Semon
Mark Curry takes a look at what are probably the funniest chase films to come out of Hollywood in the 1920s. Larry Semon starred in films that had to have the hero chasing express trains or aeroplanes. The stunts are breath-taking, the laughs non-stop. Mark also shows how some of the spectacular stunts were achieved.
