I always admired Bernie Clifton who managed to keep a comedy career going despite the loss of both his legs!
Len and Tommy better known as Cheese & Crackers, a comedy duo at the fag end of the days of variety in the late 1980s. They are brought together for a gig 30 years after they broke up.
Tommy, now calling himself Thomas is a successful businessman who has left his past comedy life behind, seemingly lost his funny bones and does not know what he is doing here.
Len still thinks he is the joker of the pack, his routines are 3 decades behind the times, some of his impressions cannot be done thanks to Operation Yewtree.
As the duo rehearse, issues from the past emerge which led to them breaking up and it was all due to an incident in Bernie Clifton's dressing room.
A comedy with a solemn and melancholic twist. It was almost a two hander from Pemberton and Shearsmith, a tribute to those comedy acts that never got anywhere near to being the next Morecambe & Wise or even Mike & Bernie Winters.
The best bit was Pemberton doing the hat routine which was a riff of something Tommy Cooper used to do.
