Cooper: Just Like That [Complete 1978 Series]

1978 · Thames Television

Shortly after his 1977 heart attack in Italy, Tommy Cooper's money hungry agent saw fit to throw his, still ailing client, back on to television screens. Shot at the beautiful New London Theatre, this series did not show Cooper in a good light. He often missed cues, flubbed his own jokes, and made commentary on the show's production at the end of one episode. Featuring the abysmal Sheila Barnette as series regular and the even more dreadful Sisters Duane as the musical act, this was the beginning of the end of the world's greatest clown.
