Tommy Cooper may have seemed
full of confidence on screen, but off camera, Peter and Clovissa
saw a different side to the
comedian. Hello, what's this for?
Good luck. We had this sketch about Robin Hood and the costume department
made a special costume for him. He said, 'I'm not wearing that,'
and he would not wear green
under any circumstances at all. It is an old
theatrical superstition. They had to get him something,
so what did he wear?
What did he wear in the end? Pink. Of course, he did! Pink. How could you keep a straight face
on that one?
