peter cook (not only, but alway’s) ch4 (again)

Started by not that kind of guy (Richard) in Chit-Chat

hey,

i’ve just finished watching the program about peter cook and dudley moore. it was undoubtedly the best television movie type thingy that i have seen this year. peter cook was always one of my comedy heroes just for his deadpan way of making anything funny. i didn’t know much about his actual life so it now kind of makes a bit more sense, assuming that it was a good representation. rhys ifans did a great job of being peter too. ch4 pulls off another masterpiece.

by the way, i am not an ambassador for ch4.

everyone have a happy new year, i won’t.

xxx

I asked for Peter Cook’s biography for Xmas, and am looking forward to reading it. When I’ve finished the Marilyn Manson and Red Army Faction ones, of course :p

Bugger, shame i didn’t catch it Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were very funny And Derrick And Clive were pure Fifth (and where i learnt all my fav words from). I was thinking of getting is Biography to learn about his life I guess it’s worth hearing about?.

And try to have a good new year it can’t be that hard?

I thought the start was really good, but the middle lagged a little for me, I got the message Peter’s life was going down the pan but it seemed to me it was hammering it too much, but thats just me

Yep, bit of a Cookfest last night. I watched the Ch4 documentary, which was very interesting, and I watched the Comedians’ Comedian programme before that, which Pete won :)

I understand why you say this. I wouldn’t say they were “funny” so much as absurd and (later in their career), amusingly offensive.

Anyone like Chris Morris? Surely he’s the heir to Cook’s throne.

Yeah, ‘A Town Called Malice’, fantastic ;)

I prefer The Day Today and Brass Eye though, classics.

Yeah - I think that stuff is really funny.

I just think Cook & Moore are over-rated. I guess you had to be around at the time though to be offended by it as it has been surpassed since.
