"Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are widely regarded as one of Britain's favourite comedy partnerships, even though they're no longer with us, and haven't been for some time." "Excuse me, God." "Sorry to disturb you at this hour, but grave news" " Dad's dead." "But death hasn't stopped them retaining their comical crown." "I've got nothing against your right leg." "The trouble is neither have you." "They were responsible for inspiring a whole generation." "These are two major figures in comedy, in world comedy." "And to this day comedians and writers continue to be inspired by Britain's classic comedy duo." "Pete and Dud gives me deep joy." "There's just no-one who has what they have, at all." "Thank you very much." "You're very kind." "Erm..." "So, you'd think Peter and Dudley's material would be carefully stored and catalogued." "Well, you'd be thinking more incorrectly than a one-legged man auditioning to play the role of Tarzan." "They recorded 22 episodes of their hit show, Not Only But Also." "Astonishingly, 75% of those sketches were wiped from existence." "But, with the help of film archivists, we've uncovered nine precious sketches from the UK and Australia not seen since they were aired, over 50 years ago." "You shouldn't be ashamed of sex, Dud." "It's no good hiding your sex away in your sandwich tin." "I think the discovery of this material is extremely important." "Welcome to Australia, gentlemen." "I love the show, I love the humour of the show." "And getting any new material back is sensational." "Is the spaghetti not agreeing with you?" "No..." "Like most good humour..." "Is it timeless?" "Like, I believe it is." "And so, tonight, we're sitting down with friends, old colleagues and fans to enjoy these long-lost sketches." "Speak of the devil, here she comes." "Look at her!" "As we celebrate just what made Peter Cook and Dudley Moore so special." "Oh!" "Oh, I wanted more of that!" "Oh, no - bum ache!" "My God, what a fantastic title!" "But before we reveal these lost tapes, let's go back to Peter and Dudley's heyday - '60s London, the centre of fashion and music." "If anything was good it was called s-u-u-per." "Skirts were short, hair was piled up a bit in the beehive style." "It wasn't just beehives." "London became the home of brilliant comedy." "Peter Cook, son of a diplomat, met Jonathan Miller at Cambridge." "The two became four when they teamed up with Oxford graduates" "Dudley Moore and Alan Bennett to put on a show in the West End entitled Beyond The Fringe." "There is no royal personage actually gracing the royal parks." "Unless, of course, they're crouching." "The show was a hit, and it wasn't long before television called and Peter and Dudley found themselves with their own sketch show..." "Here's one of their most famous sketches." "Mr Spigot." "You, a one-legged man, are auditioning for the role of Tarzan." "Right." "A role traditionally associated with a two-legged artiste." "Correct." "And yet you, a unidexter, are applying for the role." "Right." "A role for which two legs would seem to be the minimum requirement." "The "one leg too few" sketch is probably still one of my favourites, even though it's incredibly simple." "I think it's just the line..." ""Unidexter", is such a..." "I don't know that anyone else would have particularly come up with that term, and I just wait for that... phrase to recur." "For me, the best thing about Not Only But Also is that it introduced the world to Peter and Dudley's most famous comic creations," "Pete and Dud - the Dagenham duo who were, how shall we say, not all there." "In fact, as Peter Cook once described them," ""They're both idiots."" "One and a half, please." "LAUGHTER" "But tonight is not just a reminder of the best of Pete and Dud - it's also the tale of how the tapes from their seminal series," "Not Only But Also, came to be lost in the first place." "There's no mystery about why episodes and material is missing." "It's missing in the same way that there's tons of stuff missing from television of that period." "It's really easy to see it as cultural vandalism now, but at the time it wasn't." "At the time it was good housekeeping." "This material was often made on video tape that could be reused." "They didn't have that same knowledge that we do now, that old television would become important down the line." "So, it was good housekeeping to use the tapes again." "They were colossally expensive." "If you had material on them that couldn't be used, then why not use them again?" "I was aware that the BBC had wiped many of the tapes." "There's also a story, and I'm sure it's true, that Dudley and Peter tried to buy the tapes and the BBC said they needed the reels, or something." "And they said," ""Well, why don't we go out and get you some reels" ""and you can have them?" But they still said no." "The truth is, of the 22 episodes of Not Only But Also that were broadcast, only eight remain on tape." "But there is good news." "We've unearthed new footage from those lost 1960s episodes, snippets and sketches which were thought to be lost forever." "They were found in a basement at ABC headquarters in Australia." "Clips of Peter and Dudley that had been sent there from the BBC, back in the 1960s." "And, unlike the Ashes, had never been returned." "In those days, before they were precious about the material, you'd actually just snip the piece you wanted out from the film, you'd show it in the new film that you were making, and then return it to the original tape and re-splice it in." "Sometimes, of course, they weren't returned." "We've also managed to get our hands on two Australian specials of Not Only But Also, which were made back in 1971 and have never been transmitted in the UK since then." "HE SCATS/SINGS PROGRAMME INTRO MUSIC" "And so, tonight, not only are we going to share our lost tapes with you at home, but we've also set up a projector, dimmed the lights, and invited some very special guests to watch these" "Pete and Dud gems for the first time." "It makes the ones that do exist more precious, and it does create a sort of hunger for any other bits of it." "I mean, it's good that these things have been found." "I'm chuffed." "I think that's what you lot say." "And I actually am starting to get quite emotional about it." "I think it's marvellous." "Whatever it is is still a surprise to me, but I'm really looking forward to seeing it." "Ha-ha!" "Going to be great." "You're right, Ronnie." "It is." "So make yourself comfortable." "Here's our first lost sketch - a smidgen of Pete and Dud talking about the contents of Dudley's lunchbox, and not seen for over 50 years." "Come in here a moment, would you, please?" "Here, you've been ferreting around in my sandwich box, haven't you?" "I certainly have, and I've found something not altogether connected with sandwiches." "I refer, of course, to Bloubetter's Encyclopaedia Of Sexual Knowledge." "How do you explain this?" "I found it on the heath, Pete, and I thought I'd better keep it in my sandwich tin to keep it dry." "You know, until someone claimed it?" "You've been hiding it away, aren't you, because you're ashamed of it?" "No, I haven't." "I just kept it there for safekeeping." "You shouldn't be ashamed of sex, Dud." "It's no good hiding your sex away in your sandwich tin." "SHE LAUGHS" "Bring it out in the open." "Yes." "It's a good book, though." "There's some good bits in it." "Have you read any of it?" "I've, er...." "Yes, I've been through it, up to page 3,001." "Well, you've read the whole lot then, haven't you?" "Yes." "It's quite good, isn't it?" "I like it cos it tells you everything about..." "And, sadly, that's where the film runs out." "A small but delicious titbit of Pete and Dud's philosophical musings." "It was like I'd visited there before, you know?" "Being back in the day and being immersed in Not Only But Also, you know?" "I mean, seeing these extra clips is more just a reminder of how pleasurable it is to be in their company." "That's the main thing." "It's just another excuse, just to kind of spend time with them." "I've always had that kind of multitiered relationship with Pete and Dud." "And sometimes they would look so heart-warmingly, kind of, in union and just having a good time, and that was really infectious to watch." "And since Peter and Dud are so infectious, here's another treat - one where Dud, always a bit naive with the ladies, asks Pete for a bit of advice." "This clip hasn't been seen since it first transmitted in 1965." "Do you fancy the thin one?" "Yeah." "Well, she can be yours in a matter of moments, Dud." "Yes?" "If you just play your cards right." "The thin one." "All you have to do is go up to her, say something ironic to establish your amazing masculinity." "OK." "Go up..." "She's fairly thin, isn't she?" "Yeah." "Well, say something ironic like, "Hello, Fatty."" "SHE LAUGHS" "An ironic comment on the fact she's thin." "Yes." "Then say to her, in a rough, brutal way, like James Cagney used to do, go up to her and say," ""How about a bit of passionate love with me?"" "You think that'll work?" "I should think so, yes." "Just be very masculine, aggressively so." "I'll try it, shall I?" "Go on." "Hello, fat face." "How about..." "What, a bit of passionate love?" "How about a bit of passionate love with me, then?" "What happened, Dud?" "She slapped my face, Pete." "Well, you're away, aren't you?" "Am I?" "Physical contact after such a brief meeting, yes." "That's the way to do it, Dud." "Now you've got to play it extremely cool." "Why don't we go upstairs and ignore them for about ten stops?" "Play it cool." "Play it cool." "That's the only way to do it, now." "Yeah, all right then." "APPLAUSE" "They're so inept, both of them, that it works." "Their characters are both so crap at things like that." "But it reminded me, with the lady that slapped Dudley round the face, of these pieces being completely live, you know?" "Cos that's the one thing she had to do, and she missed the first time!" "I did an episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway with Peter Cook." "Oh, for all the sea that spread its wings throughout the firmament," "I knew one thing would come to this particular door..." "I loved him." "What I learned from him, I guess, and what I definitely learnt from watching Pete and Dud's sketches is this ease with which they improvise with each other." "Coming up, we reveal more lost treasures from the Pete and Dud archive, more never-before-seen masterpieces from Not Only But Also." "SHE LAUGHS" "Where he takes it and crescendos, and... the quiet passages are really fantastically well handled." "Tonight, we're telling the tale of how we've come to unearth some newly-found Peter Cook and Dudley Moore material from their 1960s sketch show Not Only..." "But Also, and we're sharing these new discoveries with some very special guests." "Ere, you've been ferreting around in my sandwich box, haven't you?" "I certainly have, and I found something not altogether connected with sandwiches." "But before we treat you to another new find, let's remind ourselves of just how brilliant they were." "That's Les Grandes Baigneuses." "You know what it means, don't you?" "Big bathers." "Is that all?" "That's all it means, big bathers." "500,000 quid, we paid for that." "Those nude women come out of our pocket, guv." "Yeah." "My Aunt Dolly would have done it for nothing." "She does anything for nothing, don't she, your Aunt Dolly?" "Yeah." "Dirty old cow." "One of Dudley's great skills was the ability to combine comedy with his own musical prowess, the resulting cocktail being nothing less than comedy magic." "This next piece is a parody of Colonel Bogey, played in the style of Beethoven, and it became very much Dudley's trademark." "But we've uncovered something very special - a rare performance of the same piece, not seen on television for over 40 years." "So sit back, relax and enjoy a true virtuoso," "Dudley Moore at his very best." "PLAYS IN THE STYLE OF BEETHOVEN" "Ha-ha-ha!" "Ah." "Amazing, isn't it?" "Yay!" "Oh, it's bloody genius!" "Oh, dear me." "The way that his dynamics were presented, you know, the score of that, you know, it would be impossible." "It's just the feel of Dudley and where he takes it, and the crescendos, and the quiet passages are really fantastically well handled." "He's got that sense of the sort of Beethoven mad look down pat." "And the never-ending end is just joyous." "Just joyous." "If you don't play, you don't realise how amazing that is, because he's kidding around and yet he's really playing." "He's really playing the piano, he's really doing a remarkable job, er, pianistically." "The first series of Not Only..." "But Also was such a success, the BBC wanted more, so before you could say 'urgent recommission,'" "Dudley Moore and Peter Cooke had landed a second series." "I was aware that the first season of Not Only..." "But Also had been shot." "It was a big hit." "And I had a morning when Frank Muir, who was running comedy, hauled me into his office and said he would like me to direct the second series of Not Only..." "But Also." "I was thrilled because this felt like, you know," "I would be hobnobbing with the creme de la creme of comedy at the time." "Dick Clement and his writing partner, Ian La Frenais, are most famous for penning shows such as Porridge," "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and The Likely Lads." "But back in 1966, young Dick Clement was a budding producer and director." "It was very intimidating meeting" "Peter particularly for the first time, because he was so quick and so fast and so funny that I felt totally pedestrian." "Erm..." "Good evening, uh, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first of the new series of Not Only..." "But Also." "Uh, whose idea was it to go under the Thames like that?" "Uh, that was my idea." "You'll find that most of the truly creative visual ideas, uh, do come from me." "Oh, I see." "Yes." "Oh." "Thank you very much." "That's my cue to introduce the first song of the evening," "Let There Be Love, with the lovely Cilla Black." "# Let there be you" "♪ Let there be me... ♪" "We did the show Sunday nights." "So, Monday morning, you had a hangover." "And Monday morning, you went out to do the location filming, with a hangover." "You got together Wednesday to work out this week's sketches, and you rehearsed them Wednesday and Thursday." "And it was my job occasionally to say, "Peter," ""you were funnier yesterday."" ""Was I?" "What did I do yesterday?"" "And I would remember..." "Obviously, if it was funnier today," "I didn't say it, but if it was funnier yesterday, I said," ""Yesterday's was funnier."" "And he said, "Oh, good."" "So just having a memory and basically steering them very gently in one direction or the other was really my job." "Roger, in order..." "In order for you to be brought about, it was necessary for your mother and I to do something." "LAUGHTER" "In particular, it was necessary for your mother..." "It was necessary for your mother to sit on a chair." "LAUGHTER" "To sit on a chair which I had recently vacated, and which was still warm from my body." "LAUGHTER" "And then something very mysterious, rather wonderful and beautiful happened and, sure enough, four years later..." "LAUGHTER" "..you were born." "As we now know, only a quarter of the episodes of Not Only..." "But Also have survived." "The rest have been lost." "It's a source of great anguish to me that so much has been lost." "There were one or two things that we did on film, on those hangover mornings, which were irreplaceable." "One particularly - if anybody can find this, well, they'll have my undying gratitude." "We set out for Felixstowe on a February morning, on the train, and the idea was to shoot Dud and" "Pete taking an out-of-season holiday." "We found out, to our intense delight, something you couldn't have planned, it had snowed overnight." "So we had them sitting in deckchairs, looking out to sea, extolling the virtues of, "Isn't it wonderful," ""taking an out-of-season holiday, Dud?"" "It's wonderful." "And it was on film." "It was not on tape." "I feel it must be somewhere in a basement, you know, that somebody's still got it." "I would kill to see that." "Sadly, Mr Clement, that's one sketch we couldn't find." "But to make amends, we'd like to show you another beach-themed piece of film - our fourth rare sketch, unseen in the UK since 1971." "LAUGHTER" "Sea's not too rough, is it?" "No, it's nice and warm." "Nice and calm." "I've got quite a lot of sand in my plimsolls." "Oh, dear." "Oh, God." "Fancy a nice, er, cup of tea after the wipe-out?" "I had a couple of gallons of sea water while I was out there." "Oh, let's just do some sunbathing, then." "Yeah, right." "Mind you, only ten seconds each side, cos the sun's very deceptive behind these clouds, you'd get burnt to a frazzle." "Oh." "Right?" "Right." "BOTH:" "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." "Right, other side." "One, two, three, four..." "APPLAUSE" "It's surreal, in a kind of, you know, obviously funny." "It's two guys, fully dressed, surfing in really badly." "But also, kind of weirdly beautiful, I guess." "Their form of comedy is just wonderful." "And the surrealness of it and the bizarreness of it." "We've got to keep these wonderful pieces by these geniuses, so that we know what we've had." "Erm, and..." "Sorry I'm getting quite emotional about it." "It's very important to keep this stuff." "Still to come tonight, we've got even more from the recently uncovered Pete and Dud archive, more never-before-seen-sketches from Not Only...." "But Also, and some real rarities from Australia." "Which way round is it?" "I don't mind..." "LAUGHTER" "Very near the mark, that." "Even today." "Really good." "Tonight we've been delving deep into the lost archives of Pete and Dud, to show you and my very special guests some never before seen sketches." "LAUGHTER" "Still hailed as one of Britain's favourite comedy double acts, let's remind ourselves of just how brilliant they were, with another inimitable slice of Pete and Dud." "I see they caught that Surrey puma at last." "Really?" "Surrey puma captured, it says here." "That ferocious mammal that has been terrorising the Surrey commuters with its unpredictable sallies?" "Precisely." "The furred beast what has been terrorising that lovely part of the Surrey Wolds." "You know what it turned out to be?" "What?" "Sheep." "Sheep?" "It was a sheep." "Really?" "A sheep what had got hold of some drugs, become crazed, gone berserk and gone round biting people." "LAUGHTER" "By the 1970s, their revolutionary brand of comedy had spread across the globe." "The Americans loved them, as did the Australians, so much so that ABC television invited Peter and Dudley to Sydney, to film two very special episodes of Not Only..." "But Also." "Welcome to Australia." "Thank you very much." "Are you going to satirise us?" "No." "Why?" "It's too difficult, once you've..." "Too difficult to satirise Australians?" "I mean, after ten days, after ten days you might say something very naive and crass." "In the late 60s, I was in Sydney doing my own show, and a promoter said to me," ""I'm bringing Peter Cook and Dudley Moore to Australia."" "He said, "They don't know anyone here." ""We're giving a little party." ""Can you come along?"" "So I came to the party, was reunited with my friends," "Peter and Dudley." "They were doing an" "Australian version of Not Only..." "But Also and they incorporated me in a couple of sketches." "Barry, or Dame Edna as you might know him, first met Peter and Dudley in London, back in the days of Beyond The Fringe." "I was in Oliver." "I was in the original production of Oliver." "But in the early years, there was a parallel hit show in London and that was Beyond The Fringe." "And I got to know some of the people in it." "Dudley Moore used to drink in the Lamb and Flag pub in Covent Garden, where the cast of Oliver occasionally had a preshow or an after show drink." "So I got to know Dudley a little, and I was very envious of anyone who was in that show." "Back in Australia," "Barry was thrilled to be able to work with Peter and Dudley on some new sketches." "They did some of their best material when they were in Australia." "They created some amazing things." "I don't know if any of this exists now." "Probably not." "Well, Barry, you'll be pleased to hear that both Australian episodes of Not Only..." "But Also have survived intact, meaning that ABC television were a little more careful with their footage than dear old BBC." "So, thanks to our Antipodean hoarders, we bring you seems that haven't been broadcast in the UK since 1971." "Another comedy sketch in the making, this time aided and abetted by that creator of Mrs Everage." "OK, ready to roll." "Right - quiet, please." "And...action." "And so to our fifth sketch, saved from one of those rare specials." "Our very own Pete and Dud arriving in Australia." "And although Barry Humphries stars in it, he has never, ever seen it." "All right, Pete?" "LAUGHTER" "I told you you'd got the bloody wrong one." "We'd better go through to customs." "Get through to customs immediately, yes." "All right, then." "Welcome to Australia, gentlemen." "Have you read this?" "Oh, yes." "Fascinating." "Yes, knockout." "I couldn't put it down." "Now I am required to examine your baggage." "Is this your sole baggage that you have brought with you?" "Yes, yes." "This is all we have." "What is the contents here, sir?" "Personal effects." "There's a hot water bottle..." "Yes?" "A fly whisk." "Naturally, yes." "Very happy about that." "That's all." "What have you here, sir?" "I have a sponge bag containing toilet requisites." "Toilet requisites, I see." "I see." "And what would be in this tube, sir?" "Toothpaste." "We are required, naturally, to go through these formalities." "Yes, yes, that would seem to be in order." "'It's easy to forget how funny they are, you know?" "'I mean, they are absolutely hilarious." "'And most of the dialogue's improvised.'" "Not scripted at all." "There is a purely a magic between those two together." "There's just no one who has what they have at all." "Yeah, it's amazing." "But there's another very rare Australian gem which Barry has also never seen, starring Barry himself, in a sketch which, by today's standards, is not exactly what you would call politically correct." "But then, this was the 1970s." "Oh..." "I said..." "I said, "Do you have it in..."" "Oh, don't play to it." "I said, "Do you have it in mauve?"" "You see?" "And they said, "No, don't have it in mauve."" "And I said, "You don't have it in mauve?" ""You saucy sauce bag, of course you have it in mauve!"" "Didn't they have anything in cerise, Craig?" "Nothing." "You'd look bliss in cerise." "Arthur, what have you got today?" "Bollard." "Bollard?" "Oh, you saucy monkey." "What's that?" "It's a ciggie, it's a ciggie." "A cigarette?" "One of those new filter ciggies." "Long, cool drag." "Ooh, speak of the devil - here she comes." "Look at her!" "LAUGHTER" "APPLAUSE" "You've had it done." "Pardon?" "I said you've had it done." "Give us a squeeze with your eyes, darl." "LAUGHTER" "That's outrageous." "Outrageous, you two." "Outrageous." "Get into the cozzies, cos I know..." "Nice to be nautical, isn't it?" "Isn't it nice to be nautical?" "Oh, yes." "Oh, aren't these sou'westers deluxe?" "They really are." "You know, it feels so marvellous close to the skin." "Which way round is it?" "I don't mind and that's a fact." "LAUGHTER" "Are you ready?" "I should coco." "Oh, yes." "All right, then?" "Action." "Right, after four - nice, clean entry." "LAUGHTER" "One, two, three, four." "# Stormy days at sea are followed" "# By the smoking of a Bollard" "# Once that lovely smoke is swallowed" "♪ So much for distention... ♪" "Smoke Bollard - the man's cigarette." "LAUGHTER" "It's offensively homophobic, of course." "But I think that's part of the fun, isn't it, really?" "It's quite outrageous and I'm amazed that I remember the song." "It must have been written up in big letters, because we sing it flawlessly, don't we?" "# Once that lovely smoke is swallowed" "♪ So much for distention. ♪" "Smoke Bollard - the man's cigarette." "LAUGHTER" "I really enjoyed seeing Barry involved in the sketch with the camp fishermen." "I thought that was a great moment." "Very near the mark, that." "Even today, really good." "There are people that can do that kind of innuendo so brilliantly well, like Julian Clary has it just down pat, just doing things wonderfully well." "But..." "They seemed to me to be like three straight guys slightly taking the Mick, it felt." "You know?" "It wasn't my favourite." "# Well bless my soul what's wrong with me" "# I'm shakin' like a man in the buzzing' tree" "# My heart fits up and I'm as wild as a bug" "♪ I'm in love I'm all shook up mm-hm-mm... ♪" "Not Only..." "But Also was a huge hit down under, so much so that Peter and Dudley were soon invited back - this time to take their new review show, Behind The Fridge, on a five-month tour of Australia." "And we've uncovered a sketch filmed exclusively to promote that tour." "It's been shamefully sitting in storage ever since." "So here, for the first time since 1971, is Dudley Moore interviewing the archetypal aristocrat," "Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling." "Sir Arthur is, of course, President of the World Domination League." "Sir Arthur, I wonder if I could begin by asking you whether you..." "No." "Pardon?" "Certainly not." "Certainly not." "I dislike the whole tone of the question and the aggressive way it was phrased." "I'm sorry, I hadn't really begun..." "You hadn't really begun?" "You'd become quite far enough for me, thank you." "You can't bully and hector me, you know, like a lot of other people you've tried to do it to." "No, thank you very much." "Rephrase the question, immediately." "Ah..." "Come along, rephrase it." "That was no good at all." "Well, I'll try again." "Sir Arthur, I wonder..." "That's no better." "That's no better." "The same manner, the same tone of voice, the same sort of sneering undertones in your voice." "Not at all." "I wasn't being at all impolite..." "I think we've gone into this question quite deeply enough." "I've answered it fully." "You've been very aggressive." "You've bullied me, and you've been extraordinarily rude and I'd ask you to apologise." "Well..." "If you've been offended, then I apologise." "Thank God for that." "Is that..." "Is that..." "Is that..." "Is that a camera?" "Yes, it is." "Is that a camera, a horrible, little red light on it?" "Will you get the film out of that camera and give it to me at once?" "No, there's no film in the camera, Sir Arthur." "Are you refusing to give me the film out of that camera?" "No, of course I'm not." "I realise what you people do with those films." "You edit them, you cut them about, you change them round so that decent people, decent political figures such as myself become ridiculous." "I am leaving here now." "I have friends in influential polices places and you won't be sitting on this seat tomorrow." "You'll have another job." "No, rather you won't have any job at all." "Sir Arthur, I'm..." "Sir Miles Wright!" "Sir Miles!" "Where are you?" "Where are you?" "That was Dudley Moore and Peter Cook with their contribution for the 1000th TDT." "They're in Melbourne, where their new show, Behind The Fridge, opens tomorrow night." "I think Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling beautifully encapsulates the absolutely pointless eccentricity of the British upper class at its best, and the degree to which privilege can lead inexorably to nutty eccentricity." "We did have Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling in the studio tonight, but he declined to appear..." "Are you continuing with this ridiculous performance?" "I told you to stop the film, stop all those people cranking round the film..." "I'm just rehearsing for tomorrow night." "You're rehearsing for tomorrow night?" "You won't be here tomorrow night, let me tell you that much!" "In terms of comedically what they're doing, they're very much on the same page." "'And so, rather than Dudley adopting some other or lower class kind of' accent, he's up there with" "Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling in the RP world, you know?" "And it's funny for my ear to hear that." "Coming up in part four we have more from Pete and Dud, including a never before seen piece of film featuring Dudley Moore unable to keep a straight face." "Oh!" "Oh, I wanted more of that!" "Oh, no - bum ache!" "Pete and Dud archive to bring you and my special guests some previously unseen rarities." "Give us a squeeze with your eyes, doll." "LAUGHTER" "Peter was an expert at making Dudley laugh and that's the magic they shared that made them so legendary - two clowns making each other laugh as much as the assembled crowd." "As we see in this sketch, where Dudley couldn't help but crack up in front of the live TV audience." "I said, "Here."" "You didn't spit sandwich at him, did you?" "LAUGHTER" "Sorry, Pete." "Blimey." "Sorry about that." "No, I said, "Here."" "Yeah, you'll do it again if you're not careful." "LAUGHTER" "I said, "Where..."" "LAUGHTER" "Come on, what do you say, Dud?" "I said, "Where's that bloody Chinese flying horse then?"" "What did he say?" "He said, "Get out."" "Peter Cook has a way of enjoying things and it sort of comes out in his eyes, his corpsing, I feel." "When you see him make Dudley go, his eyes light up and that's how he beams with joy in those moments." "You don't feel that he wants to derail the sketch, you almost feel that he's looking for..." "..the rhythm that's going to delight the audience and I think" "Dudley Moore manages to be the audience." "Are you enjoying that sandwich?" "Even the way they're sitting and the way they're looking at each other, it feels sometimes like Peter Cook isn't even thinking about the live audience, he's just trying to make his mate laugh and when" "that gets really alive, it's sort of at its warmest and most infectious." "LAUGHTER" "Can I continue?" "Sorry, I was having one of me goes, Pete." "As I was..." "LAUGHTER" "Peter loved to make Dudley corpse and the audience kind of liked it," "I mean, that was particularly intense on the Pete and Dud sketches because they were live." "All you could do with that, this was five-camera TV where you had one wide shot, a two shot, a two shot, and a single and a single." "I was cutting between them very often wrongly because you didn't know what they were going to do next but, yes," "Peter was desperately trying to make Dudley laugh and the audience loved it when he did." "I come in about 11.30 at night, we'd been having a couple of drinks I remember." "And I come in," "I get into bed, you see, feeling quite sleepy." "If you watch those sketches... ..the directing is so sparse as if he can't anticipate who's going to be saying something in any given moment and who's going to have the reaction." "Every once in a while he'll take the chance of cutting to Dud for a reaction or to Pete, but normally he stays in that two shot, which to me says, "I don't know what's going to happen," ""I'm going to play it safe out here."" "Now, it's time for a real treat." "This sketch, only recently returned to the UK, hasn't been seen since it transmitted in 1965." "Sadly, only a few seconds of the actual film exist but we have found the rest of it as an audio recording, so here comes a very rare piece of sound followed by what remains on film." "Mind you, you know, there are some wonderful cures about, I mean," "I was reading in Reveille the other day in the medical section," "I read that the Chinese have got this wonderful system of agriculture." "No, it's, it's, it's acupuncture, the science... ..the science of the pin." "And what a wonderful science that is." "What a wonderful science." "The Chinese, for example, if you've got toothache in China, you ring up the Chinese doctor, all he comes round with is a little pin, that's all he has in a black bag, you see, and he says," "so, you've got toothache, takes out his pin and with uncanny Chinese precision, Dud, he bangs it right into your lumbar regions." "Where's that, Pete?" "Well, lumbar region is a technical, medical word for the bum." "LAUGHTER" "So, he bangs the pin in the bum and of course you forget about the pain in your jaw and you start thinking about the pain in your bum, Dud." "Toothache gone, away down there." "Yeah, toothache gone but bum ache." "SHE LAUGHS" "What he does then, the Chinese doctor before the..." "Oh, oh, I wanted more of that!" "Oh, no, bum ache, that is, that's exactly how acupuncture works." "SHE LAUGHS" "Oh, bless him!" "I love bums." "Bums are so funny." "Just the pain in the bum," "I would love to..." "I wanted that to go on and on and on." "That, I think's, one of the best corpses of his that I've seen." "He just has to inflate his entire face." "Toothache gone but bum ache." "It's interesting watching it now, like, that they literally cut to Dudley specifically to show him kind of trying not to laugh." "It's not like it's caught by mistake." "It was obviously a self-conscious decision to make that part of the show, I guess." "Now, our final sketch is a real testament to their partnership." "Written for the Australian specials in 1971, it hasn't been seen on TV over here since Peter's tragic death in 1995 and it's another fine example of Dudley unable to keep it all in." "I understand you've given up your job in Millwall." "Yes, I have actually." "I've more or less burnt my boats there, really." "I came down here to London about four weeks ago with the wife and four children, moved into a little place in Catford." "It's a bit pokey, you know, but we've got another child on the way, probably." "Yeah." "LAUGHTER" "And I," "I, I sort of more or less severed all my connections because of the children, you know..." "LAUGHTER" "And I suppose you're rather short of cash." "LAUGHTER" "Is the spaghetti not agreeing with you?" "'No, it's...'" "I said, you're probably rather short of cash, having sort of given up your job, come here and sold up everything." "Yeah, it's a bit short, you know, a bit on the short side for cash." "LAUGHTER" "It's the push and pull between them, it's like a long cat-and-mouse game of trying to pin the other one down and the joy of it is watching... ..Dudley squirm, really." "There's something great about him describing how many children he has and that he probably has another one on the way, just that moment, because it's sort of revealing small little character details that aren't necessary to the kind of engine of the sketch, as it were." "What was glorious as well was not only laughing at Dudley but just little twinges of Pete going." "I think what probably gets Dudley in the first place is the bored reaction from Peter and it is the most immaculate turn to, to the camera." "And then the glugging of the wine as well." "That was my second favourite out of what we've seen." "So, there we have it, the last of the lost sketches of Pete and Dud." "But I hope there's more of it out there, although, as we know, finding it can be quite difficult." "Well, I think the word difficult is an awfully good one here, yes..." "It's..." "It's well-nigh impossible." "I think..." "We're not pessimistic about it, you know," "I still think there's a possibility that more material from" "Not Only..." "But Also will surface in the future." "I think the discovery of, you know, this material is extremely important and to bring it to a new audience, you know, there's a vast audience of people out there who have never heard of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore" "and so I think this programme does a great service to their reputations." "I've felt extremely privileged to be able to see it." "It's very special." "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time and now it's over, it's kind of, "Oh, what a drag."" "Are you sure there isn't any more that you haven't shown me?" "No, Ronnie, that really is it." "But we'll leave you with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore saying goodbye in the only way they know how." "Here we are, only been here a few weeks and yet already" "I feel accepted." "Yeah." "Already I feel that I've been, you know, really taken in." "Yeah." "Oh." "Oh, dear, I think we'd better go up front for our, you know, special duties." "Oh."
