Tintin And The Terror Alert; E

Byline: ALAN CARSON

FUNNYMAN Dom Joly sparked a terror alert while filming a TV stunt dressed as cartoon boy detective Tintin.

The Trigger Happy TV star had his skean dubh confiscated by officials while filming a documentary on the Belgian junior reporter.

He dressed up as the cartoon character during a trip to the island of Barra - complete with red kilt and blue beret.

But Joly was nabbed by officials at Glasgow Airport after trying to take the clothes and knife through security.

He revealed: "We hired a kilt and all the trimmings, including a homemade beret with red pompom. "But airport security is a problem for Tintin.

"Firstly the X-ray machine showed up the replica knife that traditionally accompanies Scottish garb, which was immediately confiscated.

"This led to a thorough search of Tintin's suitcase.

"The official tried not to look too closely at the bottles of orange hair dye and the copy of Men's Muscle Week ly.

"They asked who the bag belonged to so I said: 'It's Tintin's technically. It's a prop suitcase.

"Staring at out our group in which only one of us was wearing plus-fours, a sky-blue jumper and had dyed orange hair she asked: 'Which one of youse is Tintin? "I looked a wholesale lingerie little more like Tintin's unhealthy elder brother than the real thing but at least I made the effort.

"She was clearly not a fan. It was all getting very surreal."

Joly and his production crew were finally allowed to pass through and boarded the tiny aircraft to Barra.

He is shooting a documentary for Channel 4 about Tintin and was keen to find the Black Island that features in the book of the same name. The star visited the village of Castlebay, which Tintin writer Herge used for the village of Kiltoch in Sexy Camisoles the 1938 book in which Tintin dresses in a kilt.

After touring the island Joly spent a wild night in an island pub before heading back to Glasgow and catching a ferry to Arran.

The visit north of the Border was the final piece in his forthcoming programme about the character.

Tintin nut Joly is making an hourlong documentary to mark the 80th anniversary of the first story.

Joly added: "It's not easy this Tintin lark."

A Glasgow Airport spokesman said: "It is unfortunate that the skean dubh, despite being made of plastic, could not be taken on the aircraft." SUNDAY EMAIL
