On 17 December 1993, Peter Cook appeared on Clive Anderson's show and did 4 new genius comic characters. CHannel 4 TV UK

[@user-bq1ic9ko4u]

Peter Cook. Unsurpassed. Britains finest comedian by miles. A complete genius. There will never be another to match him. He should have won numerous awards for his performances here.

[@CC-ff7ft]

Every line from Cook is comical, his genius is yet to be surpassed or even equalled .

We still miss you Pete

[@billywol9714]

The three M's. Motivation Motivation Motivation !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jonathanbailey9075]

A superbly well observed character. A sort of mash-up of Brian Clough, Bob Paisley and Bobby Robson.

[@bletheringfool]

Peter Cook is looking so well here. I miss his brilliant comedy

[@richmonk7525]

i remember when i first saw it i was almost in tears the alan latchley character, my stomach was aching, comic genius

[@charlieverity5405]

The legendary Alan Latchley. So much wisdom. I mean, for a Scunny man. Obviously. A lot of wisdom and heart, considering he was from Scunny.

[@TheDavidfallon]

You sound like a Hartleypool man, yourself.

[@kenpudsey6435]

Hilarious..Peter was superb in everything he did!

[@Johnstone72]

Incredibly well observed.

[@diddyreason]

[@tomhamilton5261]

[@susannas495]

Absolutely 💯 genius! 😅😅😂

[@carmeldelaney1086]

No words for the talent of Peter Cook!

[@dazzy2jazzy757]

The best manager we never had

[@brianbooth679]

Pure and unadulterated genius.

[@BillyBronco73]

Wow this is from 1993 , 30 years ago. Where does the time go? This was repeated on Channel 4 as a tribute shortly after Cook's death in January 1995.

[@oldtimer7635]

Beautiful, it would be perfect/truthful if you didn't know.... : )

[@StephenMerchant-up8sg]

I remember this going out. His other character was the nerdy metal detector. What a show! I was at college with a guy like Peter, comic repartee and improv skills but this talent comes with an eventual price for them

[@djtyser-czvt]

I uploaded the metal detector one too (they are all up there) Great stuff

[@Tanis-H-Elf]

Also the Rock star that had been to the Henry Ford clinic

[@martm216]

Yes there were four characters. The metal-detectorist, the judge, the football manager and the aging rock-star. All quite wonderful.

[@user-xl6pn6xy9r]

Never to bee forgotten. 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@frankmurphyburr3598]

Paul Whitehouse has 'borrowed' a lot of stuff from Cook

[@youtubister]

Peter Cook for England manager.

[@jctoyou]

One word brilliant!!!

[@PaulRoneClarke]

And when the games over….. get em in again.

[@____Ai____]

and people say cook was a bad actor

[@esmeephillips5888]

He was a good monologuist but a poor actor bc he could not bear to share the spotlight. Even with Dud you could see Cook asserting his superiority, treading on the little bloke's line and trying to make him crack up. He was fine with a partner as inert as Anderson is here (all Anderson does is nod and say 'yes... yes') but with real actors Cook was at sea. That is why he failed in movies and sitcoms. Very funny in flashes, but no stamina and little capacity for self-criticism. Peter Sellers was like him as a cartoonish portrayer of characters, but Sellers could sustain a caricaturish impression longer, and could react as well as act. Cook always seemed to be in a bubble. And boy did he recycle his material; in his 40s he was still reusing stuff he had dreamed up as a schoolboy.

[@youtubister]

7:32 catch that smile :)

[@chaddamp2894]

he just knew that he'd really done a special sketch again

[@timharris4865]

Best sketch eva

[@thedivinemrm5832]

Peron or Braun?

[@williamcurrie5236]

🐐

[@anonandon71]

Why have you misspelled Clive?

[@djtyser-czvt]

In all these years I have never noticed 😄. I have just corrected them.. Thanks

[@paulevans8655]

Rely on rebounds … 😁😁😁

[@danielmoran9902]

Alan Latchley look's a lot like Donald Trump.

[@dunewalks5988]

Clive Anderson was an awful host!!

[@painterly_porcine262]

I disagree - his quick interjections hold the moment - otherwise Peter would die a death on stage. There's a hidden art to a great set up that still mystifies me. In my next book called "The Art of the Set Up" we try explore this but not very well.

[@duncanbirss8923]

He really wasn't

[@duncanbirss8923]

@@painterly_porcine262 correct

[@duncanbirss8923]

What a great he was
