Tommy Cooper and Frankie Howerd - S1.E3

A special double bill of interviews with two of the great comic talents of post-war Britain.

Michael Parkinson remembers Tommy Cooper being reluctant to appear, but armed with his beloved props he managed to run rings around the amused interviewer.

Frankie Howerd on the other hand wanted the interview scripted so he could practice his responses, but Parkinson held firm and let the sparks fly unprompted and unrehearsed.
