From the Radio Times:

Spoon, Jar, Jar, Spoon: The Two Sides of Tommy Cooper

Wednesday 10 June
6:30pm - 7:00pm
BBC Radio 4

Rob Brydon explores two sides to comedian Tommy Cooper - his humour and his love of magic. On stage, Cooper assumed a manic and bumbling persona, but behind this was a man with a genuine talent for magic, as revealed by contributions from magicans Paul Daniels, Alan Alan and the late Ali Bongo.

Heard it & it's pretty good to say it's an audio documentary all about a great visual comic.

Tommy Cooper could make me laugh without doing anything at all. He was one of the greats and I never tire of watching his performances. Thanks for the heads up, I'll give this a listen.

I still remember exactly where I was the night I watched him in his last performance on TV. Probably the way he would have wanted to go.

I bought a "Best of Tommy Cooper" DVD for a pound in Tesco the other day. Brilliant stuff.

anthony hopkins is a huge fan of tommy's...i think he went and unveiled a statue of the cooper in wales somewhere, if memory serves....

hopkins can also do a very good impression of him too...(in fact all good actors can do a lot of great impersonations)

and lets not forget - hopkins was in a 70s film called MAGIC...quite creepy too...
