Clive James interview 1987 4/4 Peter Cook, Barry Humphries

[newfalconer]

I have not seen this for over 18 years as I'd lent a VHS tape of it that I recorded off the TV to someone I worked with at the time (now that I think of it "Withnail & I" was on the same tape, so I was obviously lending them that ). Looking at it today it's 500 times funnier than I even remember. Well worth the wait to see it again, thanks so much for posting. This is comedy nourishment for the soul. Two kings of the craft. No, THREE kings -- God Bless Clive James.

Gotta love the dishevelled languor of both Peter and Barry. Collapsed in suited profusion, uttering their comedic pronouncements and superb anecdotage. In fact I wouldn;t be surprised if they both had a koala sit on thier face for a bit in the green room before doing the interview!

Thanks for posting - two very funny people. And nice to see Peter Cook really laughing.

[FulchesterUnited]

Yeh it's always inspirational to see great comedians laughing whole-heartedly at another comic.

Funny shit, I'm from Melbourne and have seen the playtipii also, but the pair were quite active in the darkened room.
