Peter Cook - England's Greatest Comedian?

Google Web 2ube About 2ube.com

Peter Cook would probably have been the first to admit that dying can be a good career move; none the less, he would have been pretty revolted at the sycophantic rubbish that has come has way since he died.

Widely agreed to have been the funniest man of his generation, many also see Peter Cook as a sad man who never achieved his great potential - who can possibly know?

Peter Cook

What we do know is that Cook rose through the footlights, with "Beyond The Fringe", then achieved amazing things with Dudly Moore in "Not Only But Also". Nothing ever bettered those productive few years - though he equalled them on occasion.

History will also remember Peter Cook as the proprietor and supporter of Private Eye magazine; he contributed to that august journal, especially in its early, more scurrilous years, and gave generously when libel suits threatened to close the whole operation.

This site reveals and reviews some of Cook's Finest Hours, in television and film.
