Piers Morgan talks to comedian Jimmy Tarbuck about his life and 50-year career. The comic legend opens up about how he coped on the saddest night of his showbiz career: while Jimmy was hosting a TV show live from the London Palladium, one of the country's best-loved comedians, Tommy Cooper, collapsed on stage and later died. Tarby, who was at primary school with John Lennon and George Harrison, also talks about life in Liverpool in the swinging 60s and how he was dubbed 'the fifth Beatle'
