BBC The Art of Tommy Cooper 2007

Documentary about the life and work of comedian Tommy Cooper. Cooper was a national comedy institution whose catchphrases remain 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. We look at the life and art of the man in the fez whose clumsy, fumbling stage magic tricks hid his real talent as a magician.
