tommy cooper
A fez once owned by comedy legend Tommy Cooper is one of the items up for auction in the first episode of The Greatest Auction on C4 on May 9 at 8pm.
The new teaser trailer for the second series of And Just Like That… has been released by Sky and NOW. The series from executive producer Michael Patrick King, alongside stars and executive producers Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, will exclusively be available on Sky Comedy and streaming service NOW from June.
Jason Manford has done a little bit of acting in the past. He appeared in the C4 series Shameless and funnily he appears alongside Shameless star David Threlfall in Not Like That, Like This, ITV1's forthcoming drama about Tommy Cooper. Not that you would recognise Threlfall, who is totally convincing as the lumbering comedy magician. And you might take a moment to recognise Manford, who sports heavy spectacles, kipper tie, braces and cardigan as trick-devising magician Ken Brooke.
Funny Way To Be A Hero was first published in 1973. Since then comedy has changed beyond recognition. Or has it? John Fisher's update of his stylish and weighty tome complete with riveting rare pictures draws numerous intriguing comparisons between comedians today and the comedians of yesteryear he first focussed on.
Update 3/6/13 Just heard today that comedian Joe Lycett has been cast as Dustin Gee in this project below. This is interesting – Gee was the double act partner of Les Dennis and died of a heart attack in 1986. Spookily Dustin Gee and Les Dennis had been the act due to follow Cooper on Live From Her Majesty's, the show Cooper died on in 1984. No news of whether Les Dennis will be portrayed in the Cooper biopic. But if he does, will Les Dennis play himself?
