Beschreibung
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are the greatest double act that Great Britain has ever produced. This collection of their works is a comprehensive compilation of the finest comedy sketches that Cook and Moore ever wrote together - from the beginning of their partnership in the groundbreaking stage show Beyond The Fringe to the notorious taboo busting Derek and Clive LPs that captured the spirit of punk rock and inspired the scatological anarchy of Alternative Comedy. Featuring transcripts of one night stands long since almost forgotten as well as a wealth of virtually unknown material including previously unpublished scripts for Not Only But Also Goodbye Again is a revelation even for Cook and Moore's most informed fans.

As well as illuminating their work this book also promises to shed light on their intimate yet turbulent relationship. It will show how these two diametrically opposed men; tall and athletic Cook from a middle class public boarding school background and diminutive club-footed Moore working class but with an impressive musical talent came together to develop the closest of partnerships based on an instinctive virtually intuitive sense of humour. Goodbye Again will chart the extraordinary friendship between the two men and its almost telepathic intensity which not only bought them together but also pulled them apart time after time until their eventual reconciliation.
