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 Snowy 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!

No wonder Tintinologist Michael Farr attempts to keep the conversation on a higher plane.

Featuring archive of Tintin's creator, Herg茅.

Producer: Miles Warde

First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in April 2007.
