The Best of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

In 1965 the BBC harnessed the talents of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore for a new show "Not Only But Also". Building scripts from improvised recordings (although ad-libs and corpsing remained irresisitible features of the final recordings), the young partnership created their own style of comedy including the memorable Dagenham Dialogues of the cloth-capped Pete and Dud, and Peter Cook's magnificent old duffer Sir Arthur Greeb-Streebling. The series continued until 1970 and remains a seminal landmark in TV comedy. Many of Cook and Moore's best sketches are captured here, including: 5-4-3-2-1..., the Superthunderstingcars, the Leaping Nuns, the Glidd of Glood, Bo Dudley and the Goodbye-ee song.
