Oodles of 1971 Australian TV special Behind The Fridge (more info) screen caps have been added to the gallery for your perusal - check out Part 1 and Part 2! A new, simple wallpaper is up too. Enjoy! :)

I've just posted 37 new icons; take a look and enjoy! :)

I've added a boatload of screencaps from the DVD version of The Best Of What's Left Of... to the gallery (episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and the "Success Story" documentary) and have also added a new wallpaper. New layout, too, just to freshen things up a bit here. :)

sabotagetimes.com marks the 16th anniversary of Peter Cook's death with a collection of his 10 funniest lines, in the process proving that "no other comedian can hold a candle to Peter Cook."

Sorry for being M.I.A. - busy with school and life and all that stuff. Updates to the gallery will be coming soon! Also, check out the excellent No sólo Peter Cook, sino también Dudley Moore - a blog from Argentina celebrating everyone's favorite double-act. :)

I've just added a bunch of screencaps from Cook & Moore's hosting gig on Saturday Night Live in 1975, plus lovely screengrabs - from the Sherlock Holmes sketch on The Very Best Of Goodbye Again and a chat show appearance - by the even lovelier Anonymous! :)

Be sure to tune in to BBC2 on July 11 at 10 PM for Pete & Dud: The Lost Sketches, a 60-minute special featuring Jonathan Ross and friends recreating sketches from the Not Only... But Also programs that were erased by the BBC in the '70s. Sky.com and express.co.uk (erroneously using a pic from Not Only But Always!) report that archive footage and interviews will be also be featured. Exciting stuff! :)

The extremely talented Robert Jenkins kindly linked me to his fab painting of Peter Cook & Dudley Moore (scroll down or ctrl+f - or whatever your browser equivalent is! - "Robert Jenkins"), which was on display in June at a degree show at Wimbledon College of Art. Have a look - it's great stuff! :D

Just a silly side note - there are all these "fuckyeah" accounts ("fuckyeah___.tumblr.com") that are devoted to posting content related to one subject - like cat macros - or a band, like The Beatles, or one person, like Stephen Colbert. So I thought I'd join in the fun with fuckyeahpetercook.tumblr.com! It's not meant to replace this site - it's just a fun hodgepodge of random Cook-related pics and things. Take a look! :)

Goodness gracious! Alan Bennett said in a recent interview that he thinks Peter Cook and Jackie Kennedy had an affair in the '60s, though Wendy Cook has said previously that she doesn't think anything beyond "flirtations" occurred. Read more about this story here, here, here, and here.

Also - the holiday season is upon us once more, so I think I'll start a silly tradition of putting up this very silly wallpaper in December so you can gussy up your desktop:

Happy holidays everybody! :)

According to a dailymail.co.uk article, Jonathan Ross is planning to do a one-off show next year for the BBC using the Not Only... But Also scripts. Here's more from the article:

Speaking in this week's Shortlist magazine, which Ross was guest editing, the TV star said: 'Matt Lucas and David Walliams are on board, with Russell Brand, Ricky (Gervais), Vic and Bob, and Armstrong and Miller.'

He added: 'Jools Holland is also involved as these were family shows, shown at Saturday 6pm on BBC1, so there was music too.'

... Last night a BBC spokesman said of the planned Jonathan Ross remake: 'It is an idea that is being discussed. But it is not a firm commission yet at this stage.'

It certainly sounds like an interesting idea! If nothing else, the remake will introduce even more people to Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's classic comedy.

Thanks a bunch to harymaverick on LiveJournal for letting me know that Australian comedians Stephen Curry and Shaun Micallef will be performing early Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketches on stage in a show called Good Evening at Sydney Opera House in December. Australian fans, get your tickets here! Also, read what Stephen Curry said about the show in an interview on theage.com.au. :)

The rather wonderful Anonymous has contributed 85 great screencaps from the 1983 film Yellowbeard! Thanks, Anon! Check them out here!

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! :)

Emily has very kindly contributed some awesome screen caps from Derek & Clive Get The Horn! Check them out here! Thanks a bunch, Emily! :D

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!).

More great screen caps from Anon for The Bedsitting Room have been added to the gallery! Also, check out the wallpaper section for a new one I made, and take a peek at the icons page for some new additions. :)

And just for fun, here's a Christmas wallpaper for ya. Happy holidays!! :)

Screen captures from The Bedsitting Room and Bedazzled have been added to the gallery, thanks to an anonymous contribution! Thanks, Anon! :D

Be sure to visit Forever Moore, my new affiliate! :D :D

It's about darn time! I've finally added the screenshots from The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer - check them out here, and check out the DVD extra pictures here. Scans from inside The Dagenham Dialogues and a wonderful contribution from Amy have been added here and here. The links page has been updated (check out the cool new look of the Dudley Moore fansite Forever Moore!), new wallpapers have been added, and the icons page has been updated as well.

The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer has been released - yay! I have written a review of it - click here to read. Screenshots will be added to the gallery soon! :)

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!
