Data emisji: Paź 02, 2010

As a boy, TV personality, travel writer and journalist Dom Joly dreamt of becoming Tintin. In this First Cut film, he fulfils his fantasy to become the world-famous Belgian reporter, and attempts to retrace the steps of Tintin's British adventure: The Black Island. He sets out to track down the real-life places that inspired the story and find the Black Island Castle. The ever-enthusiastic Dom Joly dons the costume of his hero, complete with shorts, plus fours, a white shirt and blue jersey, and even dyes his hair ginger. He goes to Brussels and visits the studio where Herge drew the character. Ever faithful to his quest, Dom goes in search of a Snowy the Dog and visits a seaman's bar in an attempt to find a Captain Haddock look-alike.
