Five interviews as heard on BBC Radio 3.

[@TheMarishaten]

Sheer comedic genius. Can't get better than this. Peter Cook is outstanding as always.

[@66Nico]

Genius, pure genius, Both men on top of their game.

[@MrUndersolo]

I should not have listened to this in public. So tempted to laugh out loud right now... You are missed, Sir Cook...

[@tssss900]

hilarious! never heard this before fantastic - how they do this without laughing is beyond me 10/10

[@alexdewuk]

XXXXX SO WISH THESE GUYS DID MORE, I THOUGHT DEREK AND CLIVE WAS THE BEST OF PETER COOK....BUT THIS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL!!!! LOVE AND RESPECT T BOTH GENIUS'S

[@heathstjohn6775]

Dying at work , in those days , taken as " Dumb insolence " : stupendous interpretation of the stiff upper lip , carrying on at all costs.

[@petermills542]

yeah, it's all so good it's difficult to explain quite why ! ? unlike some 'Derek & Clive' this is wonderful without me needing to be as half cut as them !

[@maddoxcallum6128]

Pure brilliance,

[@petermorningsnow]

I was impressed by both comedic sparrers the first I watched this video. And I've watched it several times because it's Peter Cook at his best, and up against Chris Moore at around his best, the early nineties - when apparently sheer desperation or god knows made him a sort of monster of ballsy comedic ambition. But having sought out more of Chris Moore's early stuff - in particular his delightful Jam radio series, also available on KZbin, thankfully - I've found he doesn't impart persuasively that he enjoys what he's doing. There's a vigilante-ism to this sort of comedy. Doing it for a cause rather than a laugh, rather than for a cause and a laugh. There are softer, equally as funny, coevals to Chris Moore's masochist-comic movement, or you might see them as his foster-children - Steve Coogan and Stewart Lee come to mind as deserving special praise. But I like the movement less than the one Peter Cook helped found, which struggled to put down less itself, and so too its audience, than to see in its audience, and so too in itself, something more delightful, something truly hateful. Peter Cook's candid sadism tastes fresher to me than Chris Moore's audacious sadomasochism. It's funnier to watch someone being brilliant and having a good time at least doing so than someone being brilliant punching holes in his ears or an unloaded gun in his mouth. Still, the iterations of "Die. Die, Peter Cook," throughout I find deeply cathartic, almost as much as Derrick and Clive at their most unspun. It's the stale taste of despair in his comedy makes the joke suffer. Comedy at its best, like eros, is transcendent, beyond despair. If Chris Moore laughed honestly, I think his joke would stick.

[@fuxake]

peter morningsnow 😯It's Chris Morris mate. lol

[@petermorningsnow]

That it is. Quite a comedic talent, but better at the punchline than the listening, the mark of a higher talent.

[@Cullmunt]

A true intellectual. Bravo. Take a bow. You worked hard

[@petermorningsnow]

Do you mean I am the true intellectual? Is that an insult? Should I feel ashamed by your response to my comment to the comment I wrote to the video which I still believe, in all my self importance, to be a very good comment. But I didn't work very hard in writing what I wrote. Though I did pay attention to my punctuation.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

@@fuxake As you say, lol. It's also Derek. But at least the punctuation is impeccable. Really odd.

[@chilledtorsion]

at 4 i was getting through 20 cigarettes a day in his trousers.

[@petermills542]

almost at random ; " ah...yes , Rex was awfully brave ....could have been an actor you know..." !!

[@richhogg8074]

Stationed just outside of Tunis with a bunch of Belgians

[@honeybeebadger]

Brilliant line 😂

[@brianorakpohit]

Bears. 'Strictly speaking, they're not vegetarians'

[@KivenMurray]

"I hope you won't mind if I hold you to it because the next time we want to interview you you'll probably be dead." - Sadly Morris may well have wanted to interview Sir Arthur again, and then Cook went and died nearly a year later. >_

[@sandersonjones]

And Peter Cooke treated everyone with respect.

[@chilledtorsion]

Cook is acting here

[@thentheychopped]

or maybe it's because he's not talking to peter but "sir arthur streeb-greebling" a character.

[@alternativefm328]

Purealternative FM TM Show Friday night

[@stu9191]

LOL.

[@SweeneyBob33]

Morris is tame compared to how Cook used to abuse dudley moore, dont be offended, enjoy:)

[@Pinskip2]

It's Chris Morris. Why d'you hate him?

[@Pinskip2]

It's intentional mate. Pete's playing a character.

[@dickyfruit]

@Pinskip2 Maybe s/he doesn't understand that they're playing characters. It is done in a way that someone who doesn't know better might think that this is real lolol
