When Osama Bin Laden was shot he was watching a Harris and Doyle video, ironically it was CoTter that shot him
Unlike Harry Potter Cotter is infact magic
Cotter beat up Chuck Norris twice
The Cotter seems to be a busy man, juding from FB. He may well be the next big thing.
Cotter ate my hamster.
Before stardom, Cotter supported himself by working in an Australian diamond mine, where he would keep the other miners entertained with his re-enactments of classic moments from British sitcoms. Who could forget Cotter's Del-Boy falling through the bar? His superb impression of Basil Fawlty and the Germans. And of course, his surreal performance of Captain Mainwaring seducing David Brent and Terry McCann, where he did all three voices simultaneously.
Cotter also wrote music for Japanese porn films.
Cotter is the patron of
"The Harris and Doyle charitable foundation for people falling through windows."
Cotter is banned from entering the Oscars to give other performers a chance.
As an avid Cotter Spotter and founding member of the James Cotter fan club (Cotter's Totty), I'd like to ask the esteemed members of the BCG if they recall the first season of Welcome Back Kotter titled, you guessed it, Welcome Back Cotter.
Apparently the original incarnation tested badly with viewers, who complained about the incessant tweeting and the episode where James, without explanation, abandoned his job as a teacher to star in the Exeter stage production of The Sound of Music.
Surely someone else must remember this?
The correct pronounciation of cottage cheese is Cotters cheese as he owns it all of it

'Is Your Partner Hotter Then The Cotter?' was the first magazine article I ever sold. A fun quiz where you rate your lover against the prowess, magnetism and sheer animal sexuality of the Cotter. As you can imagine, the quiz was rigged from the start as I didn't want to be responsible for divorces up and down the country.
Bella, Take A Break and Diva magazine all ran the feature replete with a smouldering image of the Cotter on the cover. I keep an issue next to the toilet bowl and I swear to God, his eyes follow me around the bathroom.

I remember it well. It seems James Cotter saved John Travolta's acting career, twice. As Travolta recounted in his 2009 interview with Vanity Fair mmagazine.
Travolta: At the end of Welcome Back Cotter I figured there was no future in acting. At best, I could become a bald geography teacher with an ugly wife and a smelly kitchen. But James Cotter said to me: 'John, dance in a disco movie and then do a 50s teen musical with Olivia Newton-John.' So that's what I did and that's how I became the hottest star of the 70s. By the mid-90s my career was in the toilet and I applied for a teaching job. Luckily there was a Welcome Back Cotter reunion. James told me: 'John, team up with Samuel L. Jackson to play a couple of gangsters in Quentin Tarantino's next film.' So that's what I did, and that's how I re-invented my career.
Cotter was kicked out of NASA for making them look bad.
By walking to the Moon to stage the first interstellar production of the Sound of Music.
I remember when Cotter was an aging dead end Italian boxer. Until one day when the world heavyweight champion decided to give him a shot at the title. He didn't win that first fight but wiped the floor with Apollo in the rematch. He later went on to fight Mr T, Hulk Hogan and Russian Guy and Ken Barlow.

Many people forget that James entertains audiences of all ages, my twelve children get up every morning to religiously watch 'Cotter The Otter' on CBeebies.
Whereas my twelve grandparents love watching 'A Touch of Cost' on a Sunday evening.
And when I'm not beating them with a golf club, my twelves wives love to go shopping in CostCotters, House of Spicer and Cotsa Coffee.
His influence on my life is without measure.
Recent historical research has revealed Hitler invented Nazism
Purely to allow the unborn CoTter to play a Nazi in the Sound of music
The Academy Award figurine is actually based on the famed Cotter physic. The Academy obviously wanted to call it after the great man himself, however such was his humility he insisted that his name be kept out of the spotlight and the figure is merely named after Cotter's dog - Oscar.
Why are the dinosaurs extinct
Cotter thought they looked funny
