He looked thin and hurry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldnt get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.

Any regular visitor to the cinema, must have seen some of Charlie Chaplins films. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces.

I thought the programme was wonderful I found the old news pictures really interesting they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldnt catch the bus home I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever Ive been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and Im able to take control of the situation.I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes”. I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.Yours faithfully,Chris Daniels61.
