On 15th April 1984, Tommy Cooper collapsed during a live television broadcast at Her Majesty's Theatre.

The people in the audience were still laughing as Tommy, lying on the stage, had the curtain brought down on him and the show cut to a commercial break.

The show's host, one of Tommy's great friends, Jimmy Tarbuck, recalled the moment. "As usual, he was supposed to make a mess of the last trick. He was wearing a long cloak from which he was supposed to start bringing out large objects. Then a ladder would come through his legs followed by a milk churn and a long pole.

When Tommy fell backwards I thought he'd put another gag in. I thought he was going to do some levitation trick from under his cloak. We all expected him to get up and we waited for the roar of laughter. It was terrible when he didn't."

Ten minutes later Tommy Cooper died on the way to hospital.

I remember my whole family sitting and watching it on TV, then turning to one another saying, "...I don't think that was supposed to happen."
