  • Summary

  • You’d think Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp and PG Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster had little in common. One’s clever, one seems rather stupid. One’s silent, the other loquacious. It’s their Britishness that helped propel them to US stardom and this episode explains how, with stories about both characters and their creators, and why Americans continue to have a soft spot for British comedy. It all started in the 20’s.
