Peter Cook's biased judge sketch (complete)

A masterclass by the top man.

a man or woman who by his or her own admission chews pillows for kicks

Could not have put it better. I lived through this time and remember it well. Is it an irony that during a time when 'we' are almost forced, by law, to keep our mouths shut on all but the most banal matters, our so called leaders (many unelected!) are without doubt the most corrupt and inept that they have ever been... dangerous times!

I do love the fact though that Auberon Waugh stood against Thorpe in the election as representative for the "Dog lovers party"

phahahahhahahahhah lol dog lovers party xd lol omg hahahhahahah so funny xd

So glad this is still available. Probably the best piece of satire ever written.

what a legend, why is it that even the best comedians today seem lightweight compared to him?! paul merton, and stephen fry are probably closest

I think the sketch was written for the second night of the show when John Cleese told Peter Cook that there wasn't any satire on opening night .Peter Cook allegedly wrote this in 10 minutes. The title was "Entirely a matter for you"

What a wonderful example of Cook's comedic character acting! For those new to Cook & Moore and perhaps a little confused by the style, the Frog & Peach sketch is always a good starting point.
Thank you for posting this.
