In his trademark fez, look of heroic confusion and perfect sense of comic timing, Tommy Cooper could have an audience in his pocket before he even said a word. Then the jokes would flow, the tricks fall flat and an open-mouthed Cooper would reduce them once more to helplessness.

This compilation features all six episodes from the 1975 series, with the master comedian and eternally frustrated magician in some of his classic sketches and routines.
