Tommy Cooper - Episode 3

Tommy Cooper is still one of Britain’s most recognisable faces, and this show provides a perfect opportunity to witness the full range of his seemingly scatterbrained laugh generating talents. He opens with a hilarious display of magical skills, before moving on to a sketch portraying a worried businessman on holiday, and a look back at his first television appearance. There are also appearances from Tommy’s regular guests Lynsey De Paul and Diddy David Hamilton, both major stars at the time. Tommy Cooper was a comedian that was hugely admired by his peers and is still remembered as one of the greats, and watching this leaves you in no doubt why. If it’s classic comedy with a timeless appeal you’re after, look no further than this showcase for a master at work.
