Mark Steel Lectures - Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin was one of the 20th century's greatest and richest rebels. From austere beginnings in the
squalid streets and workhouses of South London, he rose to become one of the most famous faces in the world;
adored by millions and at the same time despised by an American Government who eventually conspired to have
him barred from returning.
In this latest edition of his BAFTA nominated series of lectures, writer and comedian Mark Steel turns his
attentions to the life and times of a man who, on the one hand, counted Churchill and Gandhi as personal
friends and who, on the other, fell down stairs for a living.
