Utter delight when this was broadcast. No warning Cook was going to come on and just talk brilliant hilarious shite for an hour. Cook’s doing his best to corpse Anderson who later admitted it was painful trying to keep a straight face.
Like people piss money up the wall, so many comedy gems must have disappeared into the comedy atmosphere with Peter. They reckon he rarely tuned out and his funniest moments were when you caught him on the piss around Soho. The best with Woody Allen, Stan Laurel and Groucho.
Get hold of the Why Bother CD. It is absolutely beautiful. Cook is interviewed as Sir Arthur Streeb Greebling, by Morris. Morris invents the questions on the spot, as ridiculous as they are, and Cook just flows with the most amazing ideas!
Actually Morris edited the tapes down from much longer recordings, although it's true that he was one of the best comedy partners Cook ever had in his later life because he brought his own persona to it instead of just being a stooge, like Clive Anderson in this video.
Only peasants don't let their children listen to rude words. The middle classes swear. This is much funnier than Derek & Clive - although I thought D&C were fab when I was 13 at boarding school
the working class don't swear, you are obviously backward. its the middle class who have "standards" read the daily mail for fucksake. what a total douche. why is d&c done in working class accents not middle class accents. because we swear much better than you you are the dull uniform establishment thats why any posh cunt that wants any cred has to affect a more working class accent even the hun royals are doing it.
nly peasants don't let their children listen to rude words. The middle classes swear. This is much funnier than Derek & Clive - although I thought D&C were fab when I was 13 at boarding school
That's odd- I was just thinking about these videos for the first time in months earlier this evening just when you happened to reply to my first comment...heh.
I wonder if he even had a script or did he make up the entire interview as he went along? It's good enough to be scripted, but he was talented enough to wing it.
Peter Cook was a genius. His style of comedy was intelligent, which is why some people (i'm referring to some of the comments here) just don't get him. It's true that it takes all sorts to make the world go round, but name calling and making allegations about a dead man is just sick.
envy by some posters is not a pretty thingg to read...Peter Cook was a wicked talent. Hs personal life, whatever it was, is of no concern to those who want to laugh at a man who had wit and comic ingenuity.
peter cook was a wifebeater and schoolboy homosexual.this alcolic did nothing with his useless life and was jelous of dudley more who could play boogi woogi piano better than black men who cook wanted to sleep with.
hello mersey group,a homosexual is in the same viegn as being a wife beater is it, is he a homophobe racist too, with no taste in humour and a bad speller ?? ps. the beatles were HIS biggest fan.......!
I think you'll find that "Merseygroup" was having a laugh, anything Peter Cook did was scrutinised and reported years ago. There are no more skeletons left in his closet. BTW, Merseygroup's youtube account has been closed, Yay!
this fat alcolic burnt out when he was 25.he never did nothing good or funny when dudley more went famous in holywood.peter cook was a gay drug addicted alky who hated himself.he is worse than fat steven fry.
Hey DoctorBoosh, this guy obviously does not know what comedy is. He's probably some jumped up 12 year old chav (Most likely, coming from Merseyside) who can't make a handful of kids laugh, so no one else can make people laugh.
Hey mate believe me I agree with your views on this idiot merseygroup he obviously has no clue about comedy but its nothing to do with being from merseyside
Way to alienate a whole city! Anyway, speaking of "chavs", your "Favourites" section is filled with WWF video clips! There's nothing more chavvy than that!
its a low crime bein a scouser its low its lower than low but its more than bein low its a about bein low and dont any1 tell me ure u about the word low
I am new to peter cook and was saddened when I google him to know that he passed away :( RIP I saw the one where he does an aged rock star and it was awesome LOL

Alan Latchley isn't trying to be funny you fool. He was just a great talent who was laughed out of office by a nation of cretins. This interview was nothing but car crash television.
At his very best in my humble opinion.
