The Best Of Cook And Moore

In 1965 the BBC harnessed the talents of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore for a new show, Not Only But Also. Building scripts from improvised recordings (although ad-libs and corpsing remained irresistible features of the final recordings), the young partnership created their own style of comedy including the memorable Dagenham Dialogues of the cloth-capped Pete and Dud, and Peter Cook’s magnificent old duffer Sir Arthur Greeb-Streebling. The series continued until 1970 and remains a seminal landmark in TV comedy. Many of Cook and Moore’s best sketches are captured here, including 5-4-3-2-1 …, the Superthunderstingraycars, the Leaping Nuns, The Glidd of Glood, Bo Dudley and the Goodbye-ee song.

    Not as good as I remembered.

    I was very young when I used to watch Peter Cook and Dudley Moore - it was way after my bedtime, and they were considered a little bit naughty. In my mind this was going to be hilarious, but I have to say that it only made me laugh out loud a few times. The leaping nuns are funny (as also seen in the film Bedazzled), as are Pete and Dud as sad old geezers getting upset with beautiful movie stars for allegedly pestering them, but I have to say that most of it left me cold. Really I wish I'd left this as just a good memory.

    ok

    some of the sketches were very funny but unfortunately the boring ones seems to go on forever.
