[ronnola]

Excellent!!! Thanks for the upload!!!

[Professor6871]

This is always reminds me of one of my old university History lecturers.

[shastasheen926]

Cook was friggin brilliant.

[ashburnhouse]

I've watched this everyday for the last week:-b

[catclark52]

You can see Beyond the Fringe in the making. Delightful!

[Procrastina777]

Yay! Red socks! XD

[garyturner96]

Classic Cook there.I'd loved too have been one of the audience watching that live.

[jamiep73]

Poor Dudley must be thinking here we go again...

[54spiritedwill54]

Excellent! Been waiting ages for these!

[huxleylover]

i think the one to look out for is one in which Cook isn't drunk!

[BeatleFanVD]

a pure classic!!!

[asboselecta]

Not that it matters but is this the one where Cook is drunk on stage?

[degarnemai]

HAHAHA!! ooo, thats hilarious! and his silly walk is more entertaining than cleese's (which is hard bc i was already enamored of the Ministry of Silly Walks) his cloak-billowing would give Snape a run for his money. is that a cloak, really, or part of the academic robe?

[ernestouribe]

Right. He is the inspiration of silly walks. The Ur Silly Walks. At the beginning there was Cook, then Monty Python(Cleese), then Fry & Laurie.

The name of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's Comedy Troupe is BEYOND THE FRINGE. I say this so that people interested in learning more about them can find more information about them!

[BelatedCommiseration]

Yes...they called their own tour 'behind the fridge' after they seperated from Jonanthan Miller and Alan Bennet, who were the other half of the original 'beyond the fringe' group, which made them all famous. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore called their own show 'behind the fridge' after a doorman, who couldnt speak english very well, called the original group that when all four did their sell out new york tour in 1962.

[olivedrag]

brilliant moves - probably based on real-life models - we've all known 'em (all us older-'uns), though they're a dying out breed (Gormanghast may have played a role though)

[Zoochwal]

guys-it's beyond the fringe, not fridge

[mike65ie]

Nope it is Behind the Fridge - a 1974 one-off special for the BBC with material from the stage revue of the same name.

[tanguera33]

Well it certainly wasnt a one off special as it toured Australia around this time too - I saw the show as a kid.

[dylzone]

Do your research. They did two shows, two different titles, one letter off, similar material.

[bestvideosnet]

it's great material, rofl. peter is quite hard for me to understand sometimes, any1 knows of a transcript to this?

thx

[joon9ho]

why? why? why? teel me everything.

[cschmidtler]

its 2 or 3 years before silly walks, I think. Cleese liked Peter always. great, funny stuff.

[l3lackitty]

The best of the best.

[Copperknockle]

I love Python but without Peter Cook there would have been no Python. He was a comic wizard.

[Flickerfly]

Somehow I suspect it came before...no matter...I'm a huge Python fan, but ya know, I like this sketch better than Silly Walks. I'm not sure I should compare them, but this one has a lot more to it, packed with great lines and Peter moves in more entertaining ways than John Cleese.

[LadyFuchsiaGroan]

Is this before or after the ministry of silly walks?

[wamatt]

haha this is classic!! kids today are missing out

[COOKandMOORE]

ill do another then as they got a nice response.

[staticdreams]

Excellent! Been waiting ages for these!

[thelatepetercook]

Thank you

[joon9ho]

I have never seen any of these before..... you make my day so bright.
