Silent movie comedy great, Harold Lloyd, answers questions from Liam O'Leary and Peter Duval Smith.

Heralding from the same era as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Harold was one of the most popular film comedians of the golden age of silent film in the late 1920s.

After he started acting aged just 12, Lloyd reveals he never wanted to be a matinee idol.

He also attributes his success to a good cameraman and carefully crafted stunts.
