 On 19 March 2010 , the British TV network Channel 4 broadcast a documentary titled Dom Joly and The Black Island in which the comedian Dom Joly dressed up as Tintin and followed in Tintin 's footsteps from Ostend to Sussex and then to Scotland . Reviewing the documentary in The Guardian , Tim Dowling commented ; " it was amusing in parts , charming in others and a little gift for Tintinophiles everywhere . A Tintinologist , I fear , would not learn much he or she didn 't already know . "
