BBC Documentaries - The Art of Tommy Cooper

Seizoen: 2007 - Aflevering: 52 / 686 - Eerst uitgezonden: 14 september 2007 - Episode ID: 547325

Tommy Cooper was a national comedy institution whose catchphrase still remains in the language today. This bumbling giant with outsized feet and hands, whose mere entrance on stage had audiences erupting with uncontrollable laughter, was born in Caerphilly in 1921. This programme looks at the life and art of the man in the fez whose clumsy, fumbling stage magic tricks hid a real talent as a magician. His private life was complicated and often difficult but as far as his audiences were concerned, he was first and foremost a clown whose confusion with the mechanisms of everyday life made for hilarious viewing. Contributors include Tom O'Connor and Barry Cryer.
