The Tommy Cooper Drama

Post by **Oscar Namechange** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 5:08 am

Did anyone see this last night?

First of all, It was a beautifully sensitive portrayal of Tommy Cooper, his wife and his long term mistress.

Second, I totally agree with this article this morning that surely, David Threlfall must walk off with Best Actor award for this Incredible performance as the late Tommy Cooper,

What a brilliant and versatile actor going from the odious Frank Gallagher In Shameless

to this wonderful portrayal of Britain's most loved comedian.

Let me know what you thought of his portrayal of Tommy Cooper. I was absolutely blown away. Anyone can do an Impersonation of TC as a stage act but portraying him as he was In real life Is something else.

So you think ' Grammer ' have never been my strong point ?

I think you'll find that your ' grammer ' Is spelt Grammar.
