This depiction wasn't very good,very strained acting from all the cast.The one playing Tommy was stretching a,short not funny comic impression to the point of tedium.The son was terrible,the wife,a short glib repetitively portrayal in every scene of her,the mistress i got nothing from whatsoever ,cold performance ...the agent just boring ,the other comic legends seem tacked on... tommy crying all the time ,rubbish(an ex army man of that generation ha!).The sets also had loads of modern things in the backgrounds that didn't fit,1990 phone box,modern day fire alarms and health and safety signs to name a few .It just didn't have the sense of being set in the 70 s/80 s..
Cooper was made out, just to be a skinflint pi@@head women beater. It really was a dire portrayal made up from tittle tattle and without a well written script...really lazily done by itv. All very one dimensional,i didn't believe the story,characters or the script.
......p s cooper is always portrayed as tight(and he may have not throw his money about) but he did give my dad(a porter at euston railway station)a 8 shilling tip in 1968........
