In this BBC Radio 4 series, Richard Herring attempts to reclaim objects that we've grown to fear and hate because of what they symbolise. Via stand-up comedy, vox pops and interviews, he tackles a selection of things that have been given a bad name. This episode sees him tackling the toothbrush moustache on behalf of comedy - taking it back from Hitler to give to its rightful owner, Charlie Chaplin. Richard examines why a particular piece of facial hair can evoke revulsion in all who see it when the person first associated with it was one of the funniest people on the planet. He grows his own toothbrush moustache and hears what passers-by make of it, talks to a German moustache expert about Hitler's vanity and describes how wearing it on the day after the BNP won seats in the last European election strengthened his resolve to continue his campaign. Written by and starring Richard Herring. Produced by Alison Vernon-Smith.
