A beautiful tribute from each participant to one of our most beloved silent comedy film buffs. I especially enjoyed seeing those little films Dave shot for the BBC, on his own time - with his own camera - and at that old farmhouse. What a revelation - the sight gags were delightful, certainly as inventive and funny as silent bits of Benny Hill or Marty Feldman, yet done practically without a budget. If Dave Wyatt had been making comedies in the 1920s I bet he would've given Walter Forde a run for his money. Grateful for all Dave shared with us, and great to know his dear pal Dave Glass continues sharing their rediscoveries and will continue to do so.
