1960 Cook Photo by John Bulmer

New old Cook picture alert! :) I got a Google Alert for an article about a photographer, John Bulmer, whose work is being celebrated in an exhibition in Hereford. In the article it is noted that his portraits of people like Peter Sellers and Peter Cook are not going to be featured in the exhibition, but you can view them on his website. Bulmer's 1960 Peter Cook portrait can be seen here. It's a wonderful photo and I think it really captures Peter Cook's sense of humor in picture form! :)

Scans and such

I've added a few scans to the gallery - one from a magazine quiz book, one from the cover of How Very Interesting: Peter Cook's Universe And All That Surrounds It, and three from the VHS cover of The Best Of What's Left Of.... A new wallpaper using the pic from the quiz book can be found in the wallpapers section. A few new icons have also been added. :)

Peter Cook has been in the news of late! :) A new plaque commemorating Cook was unveiled at The Establishment in February. Read more about the event, which was attended by Wendy Cook and current Private Eye editor Ian Hislop among others, here and here (and read a bit o' gossip here).

Also in the news - Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's Derek and Clive album Derek And Clive Live almost got the two prosecuted, according to papers newly released this week by the National Archive. Read more here, here, here, and here (which features a user comment declaring our Pete to be "a comedy genius... a bloody hero!" - quite right, too!).

Updates!

My apologies for the lack of updates! Things have been pretty quiet in Cook-land for awhile though, so no harm done! ;)

Here's some nifty news - Peter Cook's 1970 film, The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer, is finally being released on DVD by DigitalClassicsDVD! Extras include Director's Commentary, Picture Gallery, and Original Film Poster, and the movie has also been digitally remastered. Mark your calendars: it hits shops June 25, 2007! You can pre-order it at Amazon, too.

As always, please let me know if you have any ideas you'd like to see on the site!
