Comedy Greats

Cooper, Milligan, Howerd and Dawson on DVD.

BBC Worldwide's Comedy Greats series gets four new titles, with compilations of the best work of Spike Milligan, Frankie Howerd, Tommy Cooper and Les Dawson.

Thrill to Milligan's Eurovision Joke Contest, wince at Up Pompeii!, see Tommy Cooper reduce Bob Monkhouse to a sobbing wreck, and... if you can bear it... watch Les Dawson play the piano.

The DVDs are released on May 17th, and are almost bound to become instant top sellers. The Cult site is wondering who will be the subject of future releases... Kenny Everett? Ken Dodd? Rod Hull and Emu?
