Anyone watch it?
Is it true to his life?

I must say I'm not a TC fan but I think David Threlfall was brilliantly cast (I took my ages to work out it was him Blush )

I was planning on watching it tonight, is it any good? Also not a TC fan but it looks interesting.

Seeing as nobody can hear Jamaica Inn I think I will give that a miss and this a go!

Big TC fan (it's me age), recorded this and can't wait to see it

I watched it and found it quite interesting. Not a big fan of Tommy Cooper (a bit before my time!). Was a bit dissappointed with the ending, I wanted the women to meet. But watchable.

I enjoyed it and didn't really have any prior knowledge of TC. The cast was brilliant IMHO and his life a little tragic like many great creative & talented people.

I'm afraid David Threlfalls face bothered me a lot. The mouth was all wrong! Tommy was made to look very ugly and I don't think he was. He had a really cheeky grin and timing was everything with TC. I used to love watching him. The rest of the cast were good but I just couldn't get past that false nose etc.

I know, I know, it would be a miracle to get someone exactly like him but maybe with out all the plastic!
