The legendary stand-up comedian and magician Tommy Cooper had links to Eastbourne. From what I’ve read he had a weekend home in Eastbourne and he and his wife Gwen spent a lot of time there. He used to drink in a pub that my Dad managed called ‘The Squirrel’ and has told me tales where many evenings were continued after closing time in the local Chinese Restaurant with Tommy’s never ending gags, such as “Putting a tea bay in people’s top pocket and saying have a drink on me”– a classic. I’m quite sure there are many other Eastbourne folk who can recall stories of Tommy Cooper with laughter and affection. My dad recalls he could make people laugh without doing anything and he sometimes got annoyed saying “why you laughing”!
The Plank
I must mention the film made in 1967 ‘The Plank’. It is an absolute British classic comedy where two builders played by Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper find a missing floorboard and set out to replace it. They cause chaos driving around with this plank. It’s a silent slapstick comedy on par with the Chuckle Brothers, and a jewel of those comics of that era.
