Peter Cook & Dudley Moore The Piano Teacher

Digitised from Cassette - May 2021
Hilarious sketch from 1968's "The Clean Tapes"

[@jessiejames7492]

To me Dudley was the genius in that duo. Multi talented, played piano and violin exquisitely, funny, could act, do comedy ……’. Great talent

[@prisonersforprofit]

amazing dialogue and delivery, brilliant comedians with the chops of world class actors. and let's not forget they wrote all their own stuff, largely from the mind of peter cook, but dudley was no slouch, he obviously had a large hand in this dialogue.

[@mummyd1990]

Absolutely brilliant Rip to them both,missed terribly.

Everyone has a price! Not heard this one before. Thanks.

Derek and Clive live…no other like it.

[@stevehughes1510]

One of their many great skits.......thanks for posting Dan.

Clean tapes yes dirty ones see Derek and Clive

[@Pierlover]

Probably one of the very few comedy sketches that mentions Upminster!

made me sit up when I heard that

Well Dudley did grow up in Dagenham...

Never heard this. Great. Reminds me of someone.

Never twigged this humour 🤔🫣

Oh dear, what a sad thing.

[@jessiejames7492]

Wished theyd filmed this!

[@malcolmmitchell6529]

They did, the wonderful state tv wiped almost all of " not only but also" tapes.

[@malcolmmitchell6529]

You cannot "twig" this???????

[@neorich59]

Classic Pete and Dud, presumably made before they morphed into Derek and Clive. I remember hearing this on Radio 1's "Fun at One" slot, way back in the day. I believe that Dud's accent was based on a well known Welsh Trade Union Leader from that era.

[@simontaylor2319]

Yes, you're right, I made the same comment on another clip of this sketch on You tube a few years ago. I think it was in the 70's or 80's on Radio 1. - it took ages to find it

[@essexpeter6116]

Clive Jenkins?

[@neorich59]

@@essexpeter6116 Yep. Thanks, I believe that's the one! 😉😉

[@SundaeExpress]

Dud's been ripped off! 100 guineas an hour is the same as 50 per half hour 😆

[@simontaylor2319]

I think I heard he gives his a wife a cheque on her birthday!

[@travellingbilly.4032]

Most likely would'nt get past the po-faced censors these days.....eye wateringly funny !

[@neorich59]

Why ever not? It's on here, isn't it? That said, agreed. Eye wateringly funny.

Yes it would. What part are you saying would be controversial? Or are you just another one of those "Waah waah, the imaginary woke brigade hurt my ickle feelings" types?

Pathetic

Another zany scene between the two! HOW DID THEY THINK IT UP!!??

[@mhicmacglashan3145]

Dear Mr T.Billy Would you kindly elaborate on your comment about the “po-faced” ?

[@travellingbilly.4032]

I'll try.....Humourless,isolated administrator types,who roundly detest those of us crows footed folk who smirk and guffaw our way through life. Oliver Cromwell and his love of earthy laughter springs to mind ?

[@johnwatts8346]

@@travellingbilly.4032 yep, censorship including self censorship is terrible these days and comedy is damn near finished, and the woke pc brigade are simply awful in every way, however this is a rather clean inoffensive sketch, especially compared to some of the stuff these two chaps came out with back in the good old days.
