A
fantastic
collection of clips of
magician/comedian and all round
legend Tommy Cooper.
Cooper was probably one of the
most imitated comics on TV in
his day, with his trademark Fez
and catchphrases such as
"Just Like That",
Cooper was a very funny man and
was pretty much universally
loved by his fellow comics and
the audience alike.
This release includes many of
Cooper's classic routines from
his numerous TV series made for
Thames TV throughout the 1970's
and the ealry 80's.Cooper's
magic act is well to the fore
but so are such delights as his
one man repertory company and
Tommy's Tunes where he
slaughters several well known
standards. There are also plenty
of well known faces amongst the
guest stars to enliven the
proceedings, including the likes
of Victor Spinetti and Hugh
Paddick, whilst writers on the
show included George
and Mildred creators Johnnie
Mortimer and Brian Cooke.
Tommy Cooper died of course on
live TV on a variety show called
Live From Her Majesty's after
suffering a heart attack during
his performance. This release is
very welcome as repeats of his
shows have been few and far
between.
THE
DVD
A
single disc. the very best of Tommy Cooper is
broken down nicely so that you
can access individual sketches
and also includes a pretty funny
gag book section featuring some
of Tommy's best jokes as well as
an indepth biography of the man.
Also available as a VHS release.
