Tommy Cooper Biopic

[mikey4444]

I watched the Tommy Cooper Biopic, " Tommy Cooper: Not Like That, Like This" 2 nights ago, on my NOW TV box. I thought it was very well done. I especially enjoyed Gregor Fisher playing his agent ( Why don't we see more of Fisher on the telly these days ? )

I can recommend this to everybody !

Seen 2 minutes of it when first aired .Thought it was terrible ,biopic very rarely work .They are ok if the person is not so well known .Otherwise it becomes just a usually bad impression of them .One famous line or gag will always be included so as you won't forget who it is portrayed .Sorry mikey4444 include me out

[mikey4444]

I can't win them all weecalf ! But it was very well done. David Threlfall was very convincing, as was the actor who played Eric Morecombe.

[weecalf]

could we'll have been as I said did not see it all but no matter who attempted it would have been lauded with the same conclusion biopic rarely work .

Well at least you gave it a chance, weecalf.

[weecalf]

Seems you have just purchased a NOW TV Box, I am considering to do the same what month trial bundle did you choose?

[mikey4444]

AOG...I just bought the £6.99 option. The Box thingy is easy to set up, although check that you have unlimited Broadband access. Picture quality isn't tip-top but its perfect watchable.

The good thing about this is that you don't have to take any of the packages if you don't want, as the free basic will make your old telly into a smart-TV. And if you do decided on any of the packages, there is no contract and you can opt out and then opt back in whenever you like.

Let me kneow how you get on !

Thanks for the information mikey, but can't find anywhere that sell them for £6.99.

[mikey4444]

AOG...perhaps I didn't explain NOW TV as well as I could have done !

First you need to purchase the NOW TV Box...there plenty of buy-it-now, on ebay, where I got mine from. I paid £9.99 for it but here is one for £16:19

NOW TV will work, in a basic form, without purchasing any "packages" but if you wanted to watch this recent Tommy Cooper program, you will need to buy the Entertainment package. I pay £6:99 for it. Its not a minimum contract and you cancel and re-sign up at any time.

One of the oddities about NOW TV, is that you have to give them you bank details, even if you are not purchasing any packages. I think this is because you have to be "member" as you "sign on" every time you tune in.

I reckon for as little as £6:99 a month, this is the best value TV package available at the moment...miles better than even the cheapest Sky package, and no ruddy 1 year contracts. Its easy-peasy to set up, as even I can do it without the assistance of my 14 year old nephew, which counts for something, I can tell you !

I hope its all clear now AOG !
