Tintin breaks all this programme's rules. He didn't exist, and he hasn't died. But photojournalist Nick Danziger makes a powerful case for the inclusion of the little Belgian reporter and his small dog Snowy among the pantheon of greats. Presenter Matthew Parris seems more concerned about Tintin's sexuality - he lived with a sailor, there are no women - and look at that hair! No wonder Tintinologist Michael Farr attempts to keep the conversation on a higher plane. Featuring archive of Tintin's creator, Hergé. Producer: Miles Warde First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in April 2007.
