Movie Summary

Two-part celebration of Tommy Cooper's life and work. Three decades have passed since Tommy Cooper died, but the nation's love of this unique magician has endured. With contributions from family, friends who worked with him and famous fans, the programme reveals how an act that started out in the desert during the Second World War went on to take the comedy world by storm.
