Comedy genius. Miss you, Peter

Even grater shame that the Beeb erased so many of the tapes.

The same style? I can only assume you are heading for second place in the list of greatest comments.
Yes mate. Tracy Emin is also in the same style as Rembrant. Blah blah blah.

Unique talent. One of the Pythons said normal comedy writers write and re-write and refine until a sketch is ready, so it takes a day to write a 5 minute sketch. But Peter Cook took 5 minutes to write a 5 minute sketch. And that was it. Done. That's genius, when you have no idea how they do it.

@SuperRustyBoy You can obviously spot one genius and yet not another type of one. Not all comedic genius is of quite the same type. Brand is very clever, believe me. His persona is quite remarkable- it's like Kenneth Williams meets a Dickensian Jack Sparrow. Far from the image some have of him as just some efette fop, he is frequently forensic in his ability to analyse situations. Have you seen Ponderland for instance?

Russell Brand ..... !!

She can serve drinks, but not peanuts at the same time.
Priceless nearly choked on my drink!

Peter Cook went to some pretty low depths if you actually listen to his material in '76. instead of carping why don't some of you listen. Cook was a true genius, I'm merely poiting out there are similarities in natural style with Brand. Don't be so neanderthal.

I have rarely seen such an offensive comment. To compare Cook to the unbelievably talentless Brand is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. For shame.

DVD???? Will they bring it out?
What! Russell Brand is crap.
