Tommy Cooper - Welsh History Idol?

*UPDATE* - I want to thank you to all those who have commented on this video - This was only an entry to a competition, but it has recieved worldwide success. Unfortunately, I did not win the competition, but I still hold great respect for the big guy.

This was my entry to my school's Welsh History Idol competition. Aside from all the 'big wig' figures such as Aneurin Bevan, I thought I'd do someone totally different.
