Peter Cook and Dudley Moore on Can We Talk 1986

[freedom232x]

i thought dudley had lost it on that one til the last line. got one up on pete thankfully hahaha nice one duds!

[agghtee]

Its the only time that joan is the cleanest act!

[kenfig]

"What OPEN the bed ?" Ha ha they could go on for ages like this couldnt they ? they knew it so well but with new ad-libs !

[hudsle]

Now I know where Billy Crystal & Christopher Guest got the inspiration for their working class shmoes. ("I hate when that happens...I know what you mean")

[bERTRANDTUBE]

'Can we talk' a terrible chat show? It was brilliant!

i love seeing dudley trying not to laugh, brilliant. R.i.p

[jazzhuman]

I love that line... "Which cheek?" "Um, the left upper."

[niceyumyum]

I don't like talking ill of the dead, but I can't find anything nice to write about Bernard Man-c-ing. I have discovered self restraint . . . nah! He was a twat!

[ivorbigunzz]

Bernard was the working class bloke.

He may not like you, but he didn't put a burning tyre round your head if you weren't from his tribe.

[niceyumyum]

Cooky had to do this humiliating gig due to one too many litigations. Private Eye went tits up and he needed the cash. I admire the vicious get! What a brilliant mind. CANT!!!!

[sludgehaichoi]

shame

[kenrubes]

two extremely funny dudes and one not so funny gargoyle of sorts. They deserved better.

[britpod]

Poor Pete, having to sit next to Rivers all that time.. I'd have topped myself.

[btbear12]

Great comics i was to young to remember the first time they were on tv but have just seen the Lost Tapes on tv this year on the documentary channel on sky tv (New Zealand) brilliant both went to soon

[beamish1000]

just bloody great

L.O.L

[diggsde]

Fantastic! Dudley still can't keep a straight face when doing this sketch!! bloody fantastic!!

[joliecide]

I saw this show when I was a kid... the minute Dudley cued up the Pete n' Dud routine, Peter got animated and for the first time, looked like he genuinely enjoyed himself

[bbdupon]

Joan Rivers and Peter Cook. Doesn't sound like a good mix.

[channel537]

Joan's a genius comedian in her own right but she let them do their thing. Anyway, who could talk over Pete and Dud in full flow. Bernard Manning was a twat. Pete could be infinitely more obsene and still be charming, witty and intelligent.

[krimpoo]

not true...a good comic knows when to step back ans shut up...and she did.

[ivorbigunzz]

what a waste of

space Joan Rivers was.

Wonderful

[memnoch616]

Goodbyee came far too soon boys!! Still miss them.Derek & Clive declined to comment on the grounds they couln't hack being censored! Without this sketch there was no show Joan.

[Durban36]

Peter Cook was like Joan Rivers assistant - the show was his lowest point. Once Bernard Manning was on, and Peter Cook said nothing all through, looking so lost, probably too drunk to know where he was. And Manning turned to the greatest comic of his generation and said "Working well tonight, Peter." Got a cheap laugh.

[goaliegal31]

the tacky host just disappears, they are hilarious!!!

[lagathy]

wonderful stuff
