| Laurel and Hardy on Tour
Glenn Mitchell examines the impact made by the legendary comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy during their various tours of Europe between 1932 and 1954. Their first visit in 1932 was intended as a holiday but became a whistle-stop tour as fans mobbed the duo wherever they went. Contributors include Laurie Bellew, Harry Worth and members of the public who met them.

Afternoon Play: Stan, written by Neil Brand; directed by Ned Chaillet; BBC Radio 4.
Neil Brand's play, Stan, was broadcast in BBC Radio 4's 45-minute Afternoon Play slot on Friday 30 July 2004.
The role of Stan Laurel was taken by Tom Courtenay, one of Britain's most respected actors and, judging from his comments on the play in the BBC's listings magazine Radio Times, a genuine L&H buff. As the off-screen Stan Laurel, Courtenay is very effective, suggesting considerable study of the recorded interviews made by the comedian in later life. Courtenay does, though, fall into the trap - common among Laurel impersonators - of portraying Stan's screen character with a flat, dull, expressionless voice, which is more a perceived image than the reality (Stan's on-screen voice actually employs far more inflection than is generally realised, and undulates markedly in pitch). Interestingly, during moments where circumstance prompts the real-life Stan to lapse partially into character - notably during his first, cautious approach to Hardy's bedroom - the authentic on-screen voice comes through. As the other half of the partnership, Ewan Bailey proves an adept Oliver Hardy, both as an active man and - a particularly impressive feat in radio - a man rendered incapable of speech.
