Publishers Description: A hilarious collection of comedy sketches, scripts, musings and never before seen, or read, footage from one of historys funniest comedians, revealed here as a comedy writer of unparalleled talent and humour.For his many friends and fans, Peter Cook was quite simply the funniest man theyd ever encountered. And nearly eight years since his death, his status as one of Britains greatest comedians shows no sign of shrinking. Despite his reputation for idleness, Peter Cook was a great comedy writer, who created countless outrageous sketches and articles and was famed for his prolific role in the satire boom of the 1960s. The very best, the most famous and some of the most unusual of his comic masterpieces are collected here. Some of these pieces have never been published before, others are out of print, a few only survive in print, and many have only ever been seen or heard - never read. This collection ranges from Cooks first writing, at school and university, via Beyond The Fringe, with Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller, his dualogues with Moore as Pete & Dud and Derek & Clive, and their brilliant TV series, Not Only But Also, to transcripts of his late, great TV appearances, and a selection of his journalism for the Daily Mail, the Evening Standard and Private Eye.
