A set of clips of the great Laurel and Hardy, to coincide with the news that Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly were playing them in the biopic Stan and Ollie. This was a bit limited by the footage that was actually available online, but I found most of what I wanted to include. Incidentally, you might think that Laurel and Hardy need no introduction at all, but I’m friends with a British woman in her 30s who had never heard of them before the Steve Coogan film. I genuinely don’t know how that’s even possible, but the point is… you’d be surprised.
