Michael Grade reveals the story of General Tom Thumb, the world’s first global showbusiness celebrity. Just 31 inches tall, he went from humble beginnings in America to international superstardom, eventually performing on stage before over 50 million people, including President Lincoln and Queen Victoria. Yet Tom Thumb didn’t choose his own career and his selling point was his disability. Is this story one of success or exploitation? Michael’s journey takes him to New York and across snowy New England, then back to the UK to discover how adored Stratton was by the British public. It features exquisite hand-made suits, tiny bespoke carriages and the first ever visit by a film crew to Stratton’s specially designed home. Looking to our own times, Michael meets contemporary entertainers to find out what it’s like to be a little person or disabled actor today, and asks whether it’s ever right for us to be entertained by people with unusual bodies.
