I really hate to be a pain, but you've uploaded it in the wrong aspect ratio. And that was the point of the documentary wasn't it? Enjoying silent comedy the way it was meant to be.
I really appreciate what you do here, and I know I come across as a thankless bastard of the worst kind, but it is somewhat jarring, having to adjust to this squeezed-in video.
Thanks for your comments (..... I think!). The aspect ratio is the same as how it was broadcast on BBC4 as far as I recall. Check out the colour part at the very start of the clip to see the aspect ratio for the documentary that preceded the film by way of comparison.
Was the guy Buster knocked out supposed to be Dead Eye Dan?

This music is freaking AWESOME!! Fits the film perfectly, and it would be awesome on its own, with or without the film.
But that's just me.

Brilliant documentary. And the music really livens it up. Made a convert out of me.

It was broadcast in 16:9. This video is pillarboxed into 4:3.
This can be fixed by adding 'yt:stretch=16:9' to the tags.

The colour video should be 16:9 so that would make the silent film 4:3 (pillarboxed) like it should be.
Maybe it's not you, but youtube who messed up?
