Peter Cook: Comedian, 1937 - 1995

http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/925/petercookkv9.jpg

Peter Cook left a comic legacy that has influenced every generation of comedians since. He's seen as the man who

virtually invented modern satire and whose savage wit made the 'alternative' comedy of the 1980s possible. Former Monty

Python star Terry Jones said of him: He changed the course of comedy. He injected a vein of savage irony into British

humour which was a breath of fresh air.

From the 1970s until the end of his life, Peter Cook was regarded as not having lived up to his promise - as an unhappy

genius who had chosen to devote his life to alcohol and trivia, and who remained in the shadow of his former comedy

partner, Hollywood star Dudley Moore. Yet exactly a decade later, in January 2005, he was ranked number one in a list

entitled The Comedian's Comedian, a poll voted for by fellow comedians and comic writers and shown on Channel 4 in the

UK. He finished ahead of other important, legendary comics such Groucho Marx, John Cleese, Eric Morecambe, Laurel and

Hardy and Woody Allen. Coincidentally, the same week the Comedians' Comedian programme was shown, Channel 4 broadcast

Not Only But Always, a television movie dramatising the relationship between Cook and Moore, with Welsh actor Rhys Ifans

portraying Cook.

plot outline:


Video with Cook performing as four characters all besotted with the game in his last major work. Alec Dunroonie

(Scotland), Dr. Dieter Liedbetter (Germany), Major Titherly Glibble (England) and Bill Rossie (U.S.A.) all of whom are

eccentric to say the least.
