Dudley Moore documentary 1/6

A documentary about Dudley Moore, filmed in the early 1990s (long before he was showing any signs of his final illness).

Dudley visits his childhood home in Dagenham, and his old school

With Sir George Solti, Blake Edwards, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, Brogan Lane (ex-wife) and Barbara Stevens (Dudley's sister)

Archive footage and photographs of Moore and his family.

I don't know what year this was filmed, but 'Orchestra' was first screened in 1991, and Peter Cook died at the beginning of 1995, which gives some indication.

What did he die of?

[frogandpeach1]

PSP - Progressive Supranuclear Palsy - a degernative neurological disease, potentially causing problems with movement, balance, speech etc. as well as changes in mood and personality. I believe Dudley Moore's first noticeable symptom was difficulty moving one of his fingers when playing the piano. He was diagnosed in the late 1990s and died in 2002 from pneumonia, which is often a complication of the later stages of the condition.

i was trying to find some sort of 'funny montage' and was surprised i couldn't! i wanted clips from 'best defense' and 'like father like son' in particular but dang.

@frogandpeach1 It's very sad, he was such a optimistic, and lovely man.

I think it's that Davy Jones syndrome we American women have. That type of English gentleman is appealing to us.

His old house looks like the Dursley's house on Harry Potter!

@OralAgreement69 Not quite sure what it is your trying to say here but I think your saying that no attractive woman would find D.M handsome, sexy, whatever ,right? Made me laugh to read this because I remember seeing Arthur when I was about 18 & had a huge crush on D.M. from then on. Also have heard many women comment on how attractive, sexy, charming he was. Men just don't seem to 'GET' what women truly find attractive about any man it seems.Physical appearance is only a part of it for us.
