Richard Herring aims to reclaim 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 in fact the person first associated with it could be considered to be one of the funniest people on the planet.

Richard grows his own toothbrush moustache and hears what passers-by make of it, speaks 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.
