[Tog]

Lost amongst the 'impics and normal daily drivel of our press this week was a survey, which voted Tommy Cooper the funniest man ever.

My wife had a go at me last night. She said 'You'll drive me to my grave'. I had the car out in thirty seconds.

I remember him performing in a local pub after appearing in a Great Yarmouth theatre. There was a large, throbbing lump of lard sat in the front row. Tommy was in control, but for once it went too far! This lady couldn't control her laughter, and Tommy piled it on, she became his foil. And eventually she couldn't control herself, as she wet herself!! I was there to photograph Tommy, a long time hero of mine. In the dressing room afterwards Tommy was not proud of what had happened. He felt that he'd lost control. Tommy was many things. He could normally control and fine tune his audience! But above all he was a gentleman and the nicest celeb that I ever had the privilege to photograph. His jokes were often little more than 'school boy' humour but he had a delivery, and timing, that made even a single word utterance absolutely hilarious. A great, great man.
