The world and everyone in it, as in global. I know as small island people, it is hard to wrap your mind around such a big concept, but life exists outside the borders of Great Britain.
Jackass was huge, much bigger then any British comedy show and it's antics were copied by reckless fools in almost every country on Earth. But at it's heart, Jackass was a slapstick comedy programme and the fact it was omitted from The Story of Slapstick, just goes to show how narrow minded, blinkered and parochial British television people can be.
Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Wee man...
I always presumed slap-stick was well choreographed acts, rather then aimlessly stapling ones butt-cheeks together.
Maybe they should have got a brief mention for some of their stunts, but I don't think it would have been in the theme of the show. Plus, you seem to know quite a bit about it, I thought you wanted to learn something new?
