Feature-length biopic of the much-loved comedian, written by Simon Nye and starring David Threlfall (Shameless). When Tommy's extensive touring starts to affect his home life and his health, his doting wife Gwen, whom he nicknamed Dove, decides she cannot go on the road with him any longer, so he asks stage manager Mary to act as his assistant. Her unwavering support makes all the difference to the star's performances and the pair soon embark on an affair. For the next 17 years, Tommy finds himself unable to choose between these two equally devoted women, and his death on live TV in 1984 means he never makes that decision. With Amanda Redman, Helen McCrory, Jason Manford, Gregor Fisher and Paul Ritter.
