THE COMIC: In this rarely-seen 1969 comedy-drama Dick Van Dyke plays Billy Bright a silent-era film comedian partly inspired by Buster Keaton who looks back at his life in flashbacks, unable to see his own faults and morosely (and incorrectly) blaming others for anything that has gone wrong. It was co-written, co-produced, and directed by comedy genius Carl Reiner, who also co-stars with Michele Lee and Mickey Rooney. Talking Pictures TV, 9.05pm
