This one is the best of the lot, Cook's absolute greatest work is these doddering old buffers. "I watch Gladiators, to give me a feeling of what's going on out there."
if you research into who people think are the funniest comedians, the great Peter Cooke is not mentioned if at all. cracks me up every time. PC: .."poor people have to make do with the NHS" , Clive..."you mean legal aid"....lol
@SuperRustyBoy You can obviously spot one genius and yet not another type of one. Not all comedic genius is of quite the same type. Brand is very clever, believe me. His persona is quite remarkable- it's like Kenneth Williams meets a Dickensian Jack Sparrow. Far from the image some have of him as just some efette fop, he is frequently forensic in his ability to analyse situations. Have you seen Ponderland for instance?
@shakercoola The same style? I can only assume you are heading for second place in the list of greatest comments. Yes mate. Tracy Emin is also in the same style as Rembrant. Blah blah blah.
The way he time's the line ' she can serve drinks.....but not peanuts at the same time' just blows my mind
When the 'hung or hanged' line doesn't quite land, cook has the genius to follow up with 'well i strung him up' genius
Comedy genius. Miss you, Peter
Check out "Why Bother" on CD, Cook with Chris Morris. Utterly brilliant.
Agreed. Genius

@marillion1
Even grater shame that the Beeb erased so many of the tapes.

At his best , is there anyone to touch Peter Cook ?? Shame he made so few TV appearences.
reminds me of Lord Avon....
