- John Lennon's appearance in 'The Pipesucker Report' sketch from a 1966 edition of Peter Cook & Dudley Moore's 'Not Only... But Also'. Also includes a rare clip of Cook & Moore miming to 'L.S. Bumblebee'
@StephanieLives
This week's 'bumber bumble' is for Alf Herbert and his Marijuana Brass and their hit waxing "Spanish Bee"
A little reference to the 1965 single "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
kingkandy that's GOLD
Super! I've read that only 8 of these shows survive despite Peter Cook's efforts. I'm so glad we have this of John, ofc he hung with these guys!
Thanks for posting.
This clip is culturally significant because it's the first public appearance Lennon made wearing his 'granny glasses'
This would have been after John had filmed “How I Won The War” with Dick Lester (who had directed The Beatles in “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Help!”). John played the role of Musketeer Gripweed. Interesting film for Beatles/John Lennon fans.
John was near-sighted and wore contact lenses in public and glasses in private. During filmIng in Autumn 1966, John began wearing National Health spectacles (aka “granny glasses”), and they became his trademark for the rest of his life.
@@rhatley Yeah "How I Won the War" was when John started to wear these glasses, but the film was only released theatrically in October 1967, so indeed the first time the public has seen Lennon in these glasses was this clip.
The "Nation Health" tortoise rim frames were different from these vintage gold-rim specs, which he bought at an Antique shop in London.
Wonderful that this clip is now on YT…It's Jan 2022 as I write this, as I find myself looking after my wonderful 88-y-o mum. As a young, BBC production assistant in 1965 she was blessed to find herself working on this show and later the classic 'Not Only But Also' broadcasts. I feel utterly blessed to be connected (however tangentially) to this immortal comedy.
I was always under the impression there were no surviving copies of this. I've been wanting to see it for about 40 years.
This leaves me wanting more. Too bad John Lennon wasnt on the show more. Never saw this before. Great stuff
BronxNYE206St Somewhere there is a clip of Spike Milligan, to unprove ‘a rolling stone gathers no moss’ rolling Mick Jagger down a hill!
WOW
I first discovered the works of Peter Cook & Dudley Moore on UA-cam some years ago. Very little of the UK alternative comedy movement reached us in the US back then, so it was a revelation . So grateful for the folks who have shared these wonderful videos. A new treasure !
Reading Steve Turner’s Beatles ‘66 The Revolutionary Year. I read about this and looked on UA-cam. Incredible. Thank you!
I have a tear in my eye. So far ahead of their time, all of them! In fact I don't think there is anything to rival this nowadays... (and no I'm not reliving the glory days - i'm way too young to have been there)
Gccgle Sux I entirely agree. I was quite taken aback that Ricky Gervais hero’s of comedy were Laurel & Hardy
John Lennon was very keen to meet Peter Cook. He was a great admirer of his comedic method.
Clearly John Lennon liked the humour of Cook and Moore.
"Actually, sir, there is a £5 waiting list."
Priceless.
It's a bit fuzzy... but I seem to remember "LS Bumble Bee" being confused for being a Beatles track and put on some obscure bootleg LP back in the early 70's. I think we believed it for a while...
I must say that Dudley Moore was a highly talented man!
These guys were brilliant.
Many thank 4 this this is one of my dad and i favourite TV shows
This is great. thanks for sharing.
This is really great. Way before "I am the Walrus" or "Sgt Pepper". The sketch (and song) never loses a grip of itself. Still ringing fresh and funny. The Lennon cameo at the end is priceless "Are you a Member?". Quality flying in low under the radar.
The closing song from "Not Only ... But Also" and their earlier TV shows is the song over the closing credits.
"Goodbye-ee" Usually Dudley sang it in a hysterically high voice and played the piano, while Peter would stand by him and sing a litte and dance a little.
Truly wonderful piece! I've seen the Lennon part before, but the fact that they actually did The L.S. Bumblebee in the same show as well -- now that's even further out there in The Land Of Goose Pimples, many thanks kingkandy!!
You're welcome! And I love the way Pete 'plays' the baby in the pram too!
You might notice in the credits at the end that John Lennon played the part of Dan. This is prpbably a reference to an unpublished poem of the time - Dan, Dan, the Lavatory man.
Yes Daniel Dan as played by Charles Hawtrey in Carry On Screaming
1. john is downright adorable in this 2. i can’t be the only one seeing an uncanny resemblance between dud and keith moon right?
Ha, crazy! And John fit right in!
With Dud on seagull. This is amazing lol
At 1:20 Dud pulls out a Burmese harp. I have a friend who plays one for real; it surprised me to see it in this sketch. It's a beautiful sounding instrument, but I don't think it's too well known in The West. As this was done only 18 years after Burmese independence from Britain, I guess things like that could be laying around in prop departments.
I love the part where they are singing in falsetto and Pete pokes the baby!!!
Brilliant
The song was genius. I can hear the hum bum bum bum
"It was a fake mustache" Cook and Moore knew.....
Love L.S. Bumblebee, it couldn't be any other year than 1967 😀👍🎶
Always good music. The sixties.
3:26 John Lennon part.
I like the ITP logo. I drew it last week based on a concept I was having.
@loblut
Riiiight. John Lennon may have been a prat from time to time and a grumpy Northerner with a rather dark sense of humour the rest of the time- but he never harmed anyone who didn't deserve a kick up the arse. He certainly never killed anyone AFAIK.
Yeah, Cynthia totally deserved it.
Aside from one slap in a fit of jealousy before they were married, John Lennon didn’t hit Cynthia. And that’s according to Cynthia herself.
This is too bizarre. Wikipedia said the episode aired Dec 26 1966 yet Dudley Moore writes in a letter from December of 1981: “Peter Cook and I recorded that song about the time when there was so much fuss about L.S.D., and when everybody thought that “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” was a reference to drugs. The exciting alternative offered to the world was L.S.B.!, and I wrote the music to, in some ways, satirize the Beach Boys rather than the Beatles. But I’m grateful if some small part of the world thinks that it may have been them, rather than us!”
Yet the Beatles didn't record Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds until March 1967 and released it May 26 of that same year. L.S. Bumble Bee was released as a single on Jan 27 1967. What is going on? This is blowing my mind. This seems exceptionally ahead of it’s time, especially for a comedy song.
I work right next to this spot :)
Fabulous footage. John was excellent. Typical Lennon approach.
If only he hadn't visited that avant-garde art exhibition.
Wow-where d'you find these?
Weird but interesting lennon bit
You can thank Yoko bloody Ono for the fact that this material is not readily available and/or in good quality.
Actually you can thank the BBC. They ERASED all of the Dudley Moore and Peter Cooke shows to save on buying blank tapes. They were about to do the same with the Monty Python masters when Terry Gilliam heard about it and rushed down there to stop it. This tape we are watching is obviously some copy of a copy of a copy. THANK YOU BBC!
Yep they "recorded over" the Beatles performance of paperback writer on totp and also their appearance on juke box jury
@@ollyf5088 I know. Crazy.
@@spockboy This man speaks truth
This whole episode is on UA-cam....type in ‘Not Only ...But Also Christmas Special....with John Lennon’
All humor aside, the song is brilliant.
I have Lennon's In His Own Write and A Spaniard In The Works. Very funny.
That's Lennon popping into the picture at about 3:28. I have just seen comment on songfacts site that he had not yet grown a moustache.; however, he is wearing the wire-rim glasses (had started doing so about the time, just after end of touring, he got haircut to play Private Gripweed in "How I Won the War').
As for the Lennon pictures/footage seen here, I recall seeing something earlier but could not place it.

I read that at 8:36am on Thurs., 6/12/1967, John Lennon had crepes with marmalade and a small, lukewarm cup or orange juice. By all accounts, about 2 mins. later he pushed his plate and cup away and farted. He then excused himself and headed for the toilet. All this was at least 50 years prior to Instagram.
Ok
¡Más! ¡Más! ¡Más!
(More! More! More!)
I was just thinking this sounds like something from Lumpy Gravy.
Very Pink Floydish opening track.
I've always liked Pete & Dud.......but this is bloody freaking weird! They gave John Lennon the "Dan" character. Was this like "Dan Dan the Lavatory Man" that Charles Hawtrey played in "Carry On Screaming"? Just curious.
Is that Keith Moon?
3:30 John
And Dud has a thing for bums!
What
The Dennis Wilson in the music credit.. that's not..?
No it isn’t. There was BBC producer called Dennis Main-Wilson - this may be him.
Did these 2 guys ever work with Eric Idle/Neil Innes?
Or Monty Python and Bonzo Dog Band?
You dont have to get its just so funny
Back in the early eighties I had a dubious Beatles bootleg album. Mixed in with real authentic tracks such as "What's the New Maryjane" was this tune.
I know this comment is 9 years old, but I just want to say that I might have had the same bootleg album, albeit on a cassette tape! Bought it at some Beatles convention in Amsterdam when I was about 14, indeed in the early 80's. I never knew what this track was about, until this evening! It's so weird to suddenly and unwittingly find it again. The tape has been long gone and I decided a long time ago it couldn't have been the Beatles themselves. Gosh, the memories...
LOL you can totally tell that the narrator is a British person faking an American accent xD
Did John Lennon sound a little like Sean Bean in this clip?
No he's from Liverpool not Sheffield like bean 🤔🤔🤔
They sound Canadian. lol
JL 3:25
Led Zeppelin ripped off Kashmir from this. :)
drugs are bad!
Sounds like what Floyd did after Syd left
On what?
Pipe smoker. How quaint. Freud said sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
3:00 when Pete pokes the baby there's no "baby wail" like on the original audio release. Was/is this controversial? Weird.
Donald Trump? 3:10
lol fucking stop im dying
wait...my name is john ILLUMANITITY CONFORMED
Orange man bad
wh-
وش يبغى ذا
Yes, I too wish you could have blown up John Lennon in the name of Allah. Oh well, can't win 'em all Mo.
