-I'm Linda Brown...

-..and this is my daughter, Caren.

-Together...

-..we run Wales's only

-celebrity lookalike company.

-If you need that special star's

-lookalike...

-..for an event...

-..contact 'Run Sbit.

-I'm sure we all agree...

-..we've lost a colourful character.

-We'll end by singing the second

-hymn on the order of service.

-"You are like someone I've known

-"In your appearance and ways

-"You are like someone I've known

-"From the cradle to the grave"

-Changes are afoot

-for 'Run Sbit lookalike company.

-Mother and daughter

-Linda and Caren Brown...

-..started

-the partnership 20 years ago.

-She had the time of her life

-in Greece, bless her.

-Caren has to reorganize

-the office on her own.

-There was a lot to sort out.

-No-one collects rubbish like Mam.

-She'd disagree with half

-the things I've thrown out.

-She isn't here.

-Why?

-# From the cradle

-# To the grave #

-Sorry. I went to the wrong chapel.

-While Caren sorts out

-the mess in the office...

-..Linda faces a difficult task.

-She's saying farewell to a lookalike

-who was with her from the start.

-I found the place, so I'm OK now.

-I turned left instead of right.

-I thought I didn't know the bloke!

-We're like one big family.

-It's never easy to lose a lookalike.

-He had a great send-off.

-It was so nice

-seeing so many lookalikes...

-..saying their final ta-tas.

-It won't be the same

-without dear Mistar Urdd...

-..my poor love.

-..now and for ever.

-Amen.

-Dennis Bradley was the Urdd

-youth movement mascot lookalike...

-..from the start.

-The loss deeply affects Linda.

-# Hey, Mistar Urdd

-# In your red

-# White and green

-# There is always fun

-# In your company

-# Hey, Mistar Urdd

-# Let's go out for a walk

-# And sing a song

-# For all the youth of Wales #

-In the funeral tea, Linda fondly

-remembers her dear colleague.

-We'll miss him.

-He always had a smile on his face.

-Mmm! Real butter.

-Excuse me, Margaret.

-So sorry to hear about your loss.

-There was always so much fun

-with him in the room.

-He was lovely. Saunders, I was

-just saying how much fun he was.

-Indeed.

-Indeed.

-

-Margaret, this is Saunders Lewis.

-He and his mates set fire

-to a bombing school.

-Oh, Dewi! Pws, Pws!

-Oh, god no. I always call

-them by their lookalike names.

-Imagine it. "This is Glenys,

-and she's Caryl Parry Jones."

-People would think I was mad.

-If he's Gary Slaymaker's

-lookalike...

-..he's Gary Slaymaker

-as far as I'm concerned.

-Caren gets down to work...

-..now that everything is organized.

-Oh! Someone's been busy. Nice!

-I've looked everywhere

-for my Gameboy.

-But the sense of calm

-is short-lived.

-How did it go?

-Alright.

-I've been to better services.

-The minister went for it.

-It was all a bit flat.

-The old crowd have all gone.

-R Williams Parry,

-Arfon Haines Davies...

-..and three Mici Plwms.

-I'll be next, you'll see.

-Give it a rest, Mam.

-You say that after every funeral.

-It's a bit much.

-It's a bit much.

-

-It's true, Caren.

-I'm not getting any younger.

-Where have you put

-the funeral programmes?

-PHONE

-Hello, 'Run Sbit.

-Yes.

-Oh, no. I see.

-I don't think so.

-Hang on, I'll check. OK? Thanks.

-It's the Ruthin Magic Circle.

-They want a Tommy Cooper lookalike.

-We don't have one.

-No.

-Amanda Scott let them down.

-Amanda Scott let them down.

-

-Give me the phone.

-Give me the phone!

-Hello.

-We'll do it.

-Is this

-what Linda needs to cheer her up...

-..to be one up on her

-business rival, Amanda Scott Talent?

-Oh, no. We're not enemies.

-Amanda focuses on the coast.

-She doesn't specialize

-in Welsh lookalikes.

-Amanda is a great girl.

-Linda has promised to supply

-a Tommy Cooper lookalike...

-..to the Ruthin Magic Circle.

-It's a race against time

-to find a suitable double.

-Right.

-If he took his specs off.

-No.

-Look at state on his hair.

-Thomas Frederick Cooper

-was born in Caerphilly in 1922.

-He became one of Britain's

-most famous magicians.

-He died whilst performing

-on the Palladium stage in 1984.

-He was often described

-as a unique figure.

-It won't be easy

-to find a lookalike.

-Bingo.

-Tudur Owen?!

-I'm Richard Alwyn Jones.

-I'm 42, from Bodorgan in Anglesey.

-I'm Tudur Owen's lookalike.

-Wow, what an audience!

-Tudur Owen

-is a familiar face on S4C.

-His humour appeals to all ages.

-"You too," I said.

-I've been Tudur Owen's lookalike

-for many years.

-It was quite slow to start.

-But then Tudur

-had more and more TV work...

-..and then so did I.

-It's been quite good.

-I enjoy it.

-Things can get stressful...

-..especially working with Linda.

-Maybe I'm a little bit particular.

-I like everything

-to be organized and in order.

-There's nothing wrong being tidy.

-To relieve stress...

-..nothing beats

-doing one of these...

-..pick something randomly.

-Look at that hedgehog. It's it cute?

-Great, Tuds.

-I'll pick you up at five o'clock.

-Good news.

-Tudur Owen's lookalike is free.

-Will Linda reveal

-that he's not appearing as himself?

-One last thing.

-Can you bring a suit and dicky bow?

-It's quite a formal do.

-Excellent. See you at five, Tuds.

-Ta-ra, ta-ra, ta-ra.

-You'll just casually tell him...

-"..You're not Tudur Owen

-but Tommy Cooper."

-He'll be fine.

-Tuds is a professional.

-You can't expect him to...

-You can't expect him to...

-

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Hello. Is this 'Run Sbit?

-I'm Chris Wright, the carpenter.

-You wanted shelves, or something.

-You wanted shelves, or something.

-

-I phoned you. I'm Caren. Are you OK?

-Have I seen you before?

-Me?

-Me?

-

-Where have I seen you?

-If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

-I've definitely seen you somewhere.

-Can you do it in a morning?

-I'm a carpenter,

-not a miracle worker.

-I'll get my tools.

-Jesus Christ.

-Caren, it was him, definitely.

-Caren, it was him, definitely.

-

-What are you talking about?

-I'm telling you.

-That was Jesus Christ.

-The signs are there.

-He's come for me. I'm next.

-Please don't embarrass me.

-Just let him do his work.

-Don't do his head in.

-He took very odd items

-out of his van.

-How can you explain the coffin?!

-How can you explain the coffin?!

-

-I don't know.

-During the day...

-..Linda noticed

-many Christian symbols.

-Or one big one?

-Or one big one?

-

-Mam, what do you think?

-If that wasn't a sign I'm next,

-I don't know what it is.

-I saw Christ on the cross,

-as clear as punch.

-In part two, how will

-Christ Wright's spiritual symbols...

-..affect Linda's night in Ruthin?

-..affect Linda's night in Ruthin?

-

-Take me!

-Will Tudur Owen's lookalike handle

-the pressure of being Tommy Cooper?

-I had a funny turn.

-I had a funny turn.

-

-You're telling me.

-.

-*

-We'll do it.

-A rash promise means that Tudur Owen

-has to be Tommy Cooper for a night.

-Bingo!

-Caren becomes quite

-friendly with the carpenter...

-..or the Messiah as Linda sees him.

-"With whomsoever of thy servants

-it be found, both let him die."

-It says it in the **** Bible!

-So, all in all,

-another ordinary day in 'Run Sbit.

-Tonight is the annual meeting

-of Ruthin's Magic Circle.

-The guest speaker is Tommy Cooper.

-What... where are you going?

-We'll only be two minutes.

-Although Linda left it

-rather late to get to Ruthin...

-You can't park here!

-You can't park here!

-

-It's fine. I know them.

-..there's always time

-for some last minute shopping.

-SIGHS

-I don't like it

-when arrangements change.

-The Virgo in me goes crazy.

-Where the hell have you been?

-Hold this.

-A lampshade?

-A lampshade?

-

-It'll all become clear, Tuds.

-Linda is still

-being vague with Tudur.

-In the office, someone else

-can't hit the nail on its head.

-Ah!

-Bloody hell!

-What the **** have you done?

-LAUGHS

-It's a joke!

-You should see your face.

-It's a trick!

-Yes. I got it on the internet.

-You'd be great in Ruthin tonight.

-You'd be great in Ruthin tonight.

-

-Why do you mention Ruthin?

-I thought he was pulling my leg,

-especially after the nail. But no.

-I've been in the Magic Circle for

-six years. I'm going there tonight.

-Haven't you heard

-of the Amazing Woody?

-Because I'm a carpenter.

-Because I'm a carpenter.

-

-Oh!

-Apparently, the Amazing Woody has

-vital information about the night.

-Does that mean

-the person has to make a speech?

-The speaker says the Magic Circle

-Code Of Honour. It's a big deal.

-Caren realizes there's more

-to the night than she thought.

-She phones the organizer

-to confirm the details.

-I don't think he realizes that.

-MOBILE PHONE

-CAREN ON PHONE

-Hiya, Mam! Did you know Tommy

-Cooper had to speak tonight?

-No!

-Yes. Apparently, he has

-to make a speech in Latin.

-They didn't tell me that.

-I have it here. Do you want me

-to say it so you can write it down?

-Have you got a biro and paper?

-Tudur scribbles down Caren's words.

-Little does he know

-he'll have to say them later.

-Malis.

-Malis.

-Spiritibus.

-Spiritibus.

-Have you got that, Mam?

-Yes, I think so.

-OK. Good luck.

-Thanks.

-Ta-ra, Mam.

-Ta-ra, love.

-Ta-ra, Tuds.

-Ta-ra, Tuds.

-

-Ta-ra, Caren.

-Ta-ra.

-So there's a Tommy Cooper

-lookalike there tonight.

-It's hot here.

-Back in the 'Run Sbit office, Chris

-seems to be turning on the magic.

-All I can do is give her love.

-She's sweet with everyone.

-With Nain, it's always "Love you."

-Is Caren falling for his charm?

-He's a nice lad.

-But just because we're single

-parents doesn't mean we match.

-Once bitten...

-Her little face lights up.

-That's why I started

-this magic business.

-Bless her. Cute.

-You know, I have a trick

-I'd like to do tonight.

-But I don't have an assistant.

-Do you think...

-If you're busy, don't worry.

-Would you like to come with me?

-Yes.

-Why not?

-Ideal!

-Steff is with his father.

-Steff is with his father.

-

-Fantastic.

-So the Amazing Woody pulls

-an assistant out of his hat.

-They head for Ruthin,

-in good spirits.

-But things aren't

-as happy in Linda's car.

-Eh?!

-Tommy Cooper?

-Are you crazy?

-I'm nothing like Tommy Cooper.

-You'll be fine. Trust me.

-Since when has Tudur Owen

-looked like Tommy Cooper? No way.

-You're champion.

-This is ridiculous!

-Where's the receipt?

-I want to take it back tomorrow.

-The North Wales Magic Circle

-crew meet every year...

-..to demonstrate their latest

-tricks and share ideas.

-But every year, the highpoint is

-the guest conjuror's Latin speech.

-This year's guest is expected

-to put the others in the shade.

-BACKGROUND CONVERSATION

-Linda?

-It's good to see you.

-Thanks for coming at short notice.

-I know you, of course.

-Everyone is looking forward.

-I'm sorry you didn't get

-the message about the Latin speech.

-I told the girl on the phone,

-but I don't think she was listening.

-We have a back room. Would

-you like to go there to prepare?

-That would be lovely.

-Come on, Tommy.

-As the conjurors

-practise their tricks...

-..behind the scenes,

-things are far from perfect.

-Loquis spiritibus.

-No, malis spiritibus.

-Think of a bus.

-It's full of spirits.

-Put "malis" in front of it.

-Malisbus spiritibus.

-No, that's wrong.

-You do this to me all the time.

-It's always last minute!

-Cool head, Tuds.

-Right, indocilis privata.

-As pressure mounts backstage...

-..unknown to Linda...

-..the latest double act

-in the conjuring world...

-..has arrived for the big night.

-But Tudur's inability to cope with

-change is getting the better of him.

-I can't do it! Look at me.

-I'm sweating buckets.

-Calm down. You'll be fine.

-BREATHES IN AND OUT

-Indocilis.

-While her mother tries to calm the

-anxious guest speaker's nerves...

-..in the hall, Caren is also

-getting ready for a new experience.

-It's time to make a start.

-Please take your places

-at the table.

-I'll see if the guest

-speaker is ready.

-Take your seats.

-We're ready, when you are.

-Right.

-Let's go over it once more.

-Say it.

-Hurry!

-Malis.

-Malis.

-

-Malis.

-Spiritus.

-Spiritus.

-

-Spiritus.

-Tommy Cooper!

-Indocilis... oh!

-APPLAUSE

-Hiya, Ruthin.

-My heart was pounding like a train.

-I'd have been fine...

-..if someone hadn't taken my speech.

-But the speech is the last

-thing on Linda Brown's mind...

-..when she sees the biblical

-tableau in front of her.

-MONASTIC CHANT

-Oh...

-Oh!

-My life flashed in front of my eyes.

-I don't remember

-anything after that.

-Make room for him.

-MONASTIC CHANT

-I don't care what anyone says.

-Tommy Cooper died. Jesus Christ

-bought him back to life.

-Don't tell me I didn't see that.

-Do you feel better?

-I had a funny turn.

-I had a funny turn.

-

-You're telling me!

-I don't know what came over me.

-It was the Latin.

-Forget that! I want to go

-as quickly as possible.

-With the guest speaker ill,

-the main event goes ahead.

-The conjurors demonstrate

-their latest tricks.

-Fellow conjurors!

-As you know, I'm a carpenter by day.

-First on stage is

-the Amazing Woody, Chris Wright.

-Nothing is more

-important than the saw.

-APPLAUSE

-I'm going to perform

-the world-famous trick...

-..sawing a girl in half.

-APPLAUSE

-First, I need...

-..a beautiful assistant.

-The Tommy Cooper miracle

-reminded Linda of death's presence.

-He wanted Caren...

-..not me!

-She realizes that it wasn't her, but

-Caren, who was the sacrificial lamb.

-Take me!

-I'm ready for you now. Take me!

-It's me you want, not her.

-I'm here, ready to accept you.

-Take me, for heaven's sake!

-# Forever and ever,

-Hallelujah, Hallelujah #

-It was a shorter night than usual.

-How did it go, all in all?

-I enjoyed myself greatly,

-like everyone else.

-There were a few

-very memorable moments.

-The Amazing Woody

-became the Disappearing Woody.

-Amazing. He disappeared.

-Goodbye.

-Bye.

-Good luck.

-GAMEBOY

-I've died again.
