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 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 - while Tintinologist Michael Farr attempts to keep the conversation on a higher plane.

The programme includes archive of Tintin's creator, Herg茅.

Produced by Miles Warde.

First broadcast on 成人论坛 Radio 4 in April 2007.
