Thanks for this. This was broadcast not long after he died as a tribute to him. Can it be twenty years since his been dead? Seems more like yesterday to me.
If Peter Cooks father was abroad at the time of his birth, wouldn’t that make him his mother ? Perhaps being the child of two lesbians explains a lot about Peter. Peter Cook was extraordinary in many ways and I should have liked to throw my arms around him, but given his traumatic birth did not wish to burden him further with accusations of a homosapien relationship with a man of his own gender.
When I watch such stuff as this, scenes of life in England as they were with schools singing Jerusalem it's enough to make you weep. There seems to be nothing left of my childhood that hasn't come under the synical and creepy watchfull eye of the modern socialist regimes. We used to gather in the local and tell jokes, everyone told jokes and ALL was up for ridicule and satire, try that now with your modern pinko. Tell a joke now and it is through the anonimity of e-mail less sensitivities twitch
Thanks for sharing all these videos, it's much appreciated.
Thanks very much. What an amazing man he was.
The music at 0.15 - 0.25 - if someone should be asking - is "l'aprés-midi d'une faune" by Debussy. Beautiful piece. It's worth listen to.
This was originally broadcast as part of the 'Omnibus' series on BBC1, on 19th December 1995 at 10.20pm.

The funniest man who ever drew breath.
Couldn't agree more.
Why’s one of the videos hidden on the Clive and derek documentary did someone report it ?

His faults make him even more endearing.
