Peter Cook and Dudley Moore get silly on the set of 1967's Bedazzled!

some more dooodles !

A veritable smorgasbord of awesome Peter Cook doodles!! Play spot the references: Bedazzled's George Spiggott in his jammies, an action shot of Cook's senile delinquent from the also-doodled Herman Hermitz' report on crime (Goodbye Again; and that's Dudley Moore's beret-topped oldster there too!), and a smokin' Roger Mellie. Not to mention - appearances by Moore and the Beyond the Fringe boys!

Raquel Welch Bedazzled (1967)

The scene-stealing Raquel Welch bamboozles Dudley Moore in the Peter Cook- and Moore-starring Bedazzled!

I made a video about the largely forgotten Graham Chapman movie Yellowbeard. Written by Graham Chapman, Peter Cook and Bernard McKenner. Staring: Graham Chapman, Peter Cook, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Cheech & Chong, Marty Feldman, Kenneth Mars, Spike Milligan and more. But is it any good? (SPOILERS: It's better than most people tell you it is)

This video is a really great look at Yellowbeard (in which Peter Cook features among a top-tier cast) and why it is actually not quite as terrible as its reputation suggests! Excellent stuff!

Peter Cook as Lord Lambourn

This'll put a feather in your cap - it's an excellent rendering of Peter Cook as Lord Lambourn in 1983's Yellowbeard by @kingsnorthportfolio! Really cool!!

From Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's 1978 Sherlock Holmes spoof, The Hound of the Baskervilles!

Films I've watched in 2024 (29/?)

Peter Cook as The Impressive Clergyman features not only in The Princess Bride, but also in this great set of screen caps from the film!

Drimble Wedge and The Vegetation - "Bedazzled"

An icy Peter Cook, a jelly Dudley Moore, and an awe-struck Eleanor Bron all feature in this excellent clip from 1967's Bedazzled!

:D

Fantastic!! Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and Eleanor Bron - in art form!

The sketch-y Mr. Wisty! Fantastic rendering by @wearyourlovelikeheaven77 of Peter Cook's E.L. Wisty - nice!!

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love, etc. - it's Peter Cook as Elvis on Cook's short-lived chat show Where Do I Sit? in 1971!

Too cool! What a snazzy rendering of Peter Cook's George Spiggott in Bedazzled!!

Beyond the Fringe in The Crown

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that Mac going to Beyond the Fringe was actually portrayed in The Crown (s2ep10). The programme makers did a terrific job of conveying how shocking it was at the time that the PM was being satirised onstage. Anton Lesser actually made me feel sympathetic to the old Tory for a bit.

There's foreshadowing in s2ep4 when Margaret goes to a party where Dudley's band is playing. That gave me hope we'd see her friendship with Peter Sellers but that never happened.

The person enjoying it the most seems to be Jonathan, and from what I've heard elsewhere he was the most iconoclastic of the group. I doubt that Alan was so into it on the night though.

Over 60 years since Peter Cook started impacting the culture and the reverberations have never stopped. Gwan Cookie!

Really great post here!! Via actor Patrick Warner in The Crown's second season episode "Mystery Man," from 2017, Peter Cook's sharp lampooning of then-PM Harold Macmillan to his face still makes waves all these years later!

Peter Cook's red socks

In 1967, Cookie played a scarlet-socked The Devil in the film Bedazzled, and forevermore he was to be seen red-stocking'd.

Peter Cook, fashion icon!
