Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were comedic pioneers.Always ahead of their time they were key figures in the development of modern satire when they were an integral part of the 'Beyond the Fringe' team,wrote and starred in the brilliantly surreal film Bedazzled,made national heroes of Dagenham Pete and Dud,and forged the way for alternative stand-up comedy with their expletive-splattered Derek and Clive albums.Together they were consistently unbeatable.Apart,they were occasionally brilliant,successful in different ways (most notably Pete with Private Eye,Dud as a Hollywood Sex Thimble),and lived intriguing lives. This book is the first attempt to put into perspective the work and careers of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore,both as a team and individuals.As well as charting their professional lives,it offers a unique insight into the workings of both men.Illustrated throughout with images from their career and including exclusive interviews with people who have worked with and been influenced by them, Pete & Dud has also been written with the co-operation of some of Peter and Dudley's closest friends and former partners,including Lin Cook.Peter Cook and Dudley Moore created,together and individually,some of British comedy's finest moments.From the moment they appeared as students together on stage,it was clear that a chemistry existed the likes of which occurs only once in every generation.Like Laurel and Hardy,Abbott and Costello or Morecambe and Wise,Pete and Dud made a unique and memorable team.Their humour was alternative before it became a cliche.For the first time,this book traces the lives and careers of Pete and Dud,examining their work and influence both as a double act and as individuals. Using original interview material with people who have known and worked with the pair including Peter Cook's widow,Lin and illustrated with rare and classic images of them,this is the first and finest critical biography of Cook and Moore to be written.
