.Why Bother?: Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling in Conversation with Chris Morris (BBC Radio Collection)

from: BBC Audiobooks Ltd

March 01, 1999
This is by far the funniest cd I have ever had the pleasure to hear , and certainly the best thing either Morris or Cooke have ever done. It is made up of five ten-minute mock interviews with Morris playing the role of a brusque journalist getting perhaps the last interview with an aging Sir Arthur Street-Greebling. After all Sir Arthur is to "anyone who can see him quite clearly nearing death".

Morris is a perfect foil for Cooke, never letting him take the easy route, forcing him to come up with killer one-liner after killer one-liner, and just when Peter is getting comfortable with the way the interview is going, Morris ask's him a question that you are sure is going to make the whole improvisation collapse but Cooke manages ...

.Dud and Pete: The Dagenham Dialogues (Methuen humour)

by: Peter Cook, Dudley Moore

November 06, 2003
This is completely off the wall humour from the early 60s - and is simply a classic!

Before the days of Monty Python Pete & Dud trod a path of surreal humour which many later followed.

This is a real trip down memory lane for a baby boomer!

.Sex, Leadership and Rock'n'Roll: Leadership Lessons from the Academy of Rock

by: Peter Cook

March 01, 2006
This book is not what I expected at all.
But in the best possible way...
Peter Cook is a genius. Having read book after book on Leadership and Management, and yes I have read all of the so called 'greats'.. I flicked through the pages before sitting down to read, and wondered what I was letting myself in for. I was intrigued to find out how Leadership could be 'sexy'.. rather than 'sexist' (Spinal Tap).. and what could David Bowie possibly teach me about management?
I read this book through over 2 days - the laughter and rock'n'roll-isms carried me through what was a musical journey through all of the key things that every Leader and Manager 'must know' but written in a way that made perfect sense and actually made me want ... Read More:

.Tragically I Was an Only Twin: The Comedy of Peter Cook

by: Peter Cook

October 03, 2002
There can be no arguing against the glaringly obvious fact that Peter Cook was bloody funny. Funny. Ve'y, ve'y funny. Like every single innovative humourist, not all his creations make one guffaw till vomitus projectus. But, the stuff in this block of glued together leaves is largely brilliantly funny -- ranging from the crass, to the urbanely witty. All those who say otherwise are petty little contrarians.
