Watching a Pawn Stars episode and someone brought in an "Identi-Kit" to sell! Simply HAD to look up this routine, as I has actually heard this routine many many years ago on - get this - an album I checked out from the LIBRARY! Over the years I have always remembered this "kit" as "L'identi-KEE" as the French foppishly call it. Took French in high school that's why I remember that part! LOVE Peter Cook and Dudley Moore!!

The straight man in this sketch is Alan Bennett, NOT Dudley Moore. They were part of a 4 man comedy group called "Beyond the Fringe", (which did include Dudley Moore).

I've never seen this sketch before and Cook is brilliant. When he was on form he was excellent. He seemed to be able put on performances like this mainly in the 60s, then it became less and less in later years.

Wonderful wordplay and brilliantly delivered. I think Peter Cooke's character in this must have been the inspiration for Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling in the Not Only But Also sketch about teaching ravens to fly underwater.

The Great Train Robbery took place in 1963.... The ruling incumbent Archbishop of Canterbury at that time and from 1961 to 1974 was the Right Reverend Michael Ramsay...... No one knows if he had ever heard (or appreciated?) this Peter Cook satire/spoof....
