British Silent Comedy Films
Our New Errand Boy UK 1905 Dir James Williamson
This is a catalogue of British silent comedy films held in the National Film and Television Archive, restricted to films for which the Archive has accessible viewing prints. It includes all silent fiction films on a comic theme made by British production companies, including some animation, plus a few non-fiction films in which comedians perform their act. Each entry gives the title, date of release, director (where known), production company (where known), basic cast (where known), a short synopsis and the length in feet. Such lengths are for 35mm film unless stated otherwise.
