	Pete and Dud biography .ms (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Pete and Dud were characters played by the comedians and entertainers Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
		Pete is a know-it-all and wanna-be intellectual, very much in the spirit of E.
		The "Dagenham dialouges" between the two ranged from paintings in toilets (Dud finds the Mona Lisa snooty whilst he is using the toilets), reasons as to why geckos don't live long and being annoyed by film-stars pestering them for romance.

	Pete and Dud
		Pete and Dud were stage personae of the comedians and entertainers Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
		The dialogue format originated in 1964 when Dudley Moore invited Peter Cook to appear in a television performance, whereupon Peter Cook scripted a conversation between two men from Dagenham in flat caps[?].
		This proved to be very popular with television audiences and the partnership was continued during the series Not Only...

	BBC - Comedy Blog - For Pete's (and Dud's) Sake
		Pete and Dud fans are in for a double treat this Christmas.
		Although the series is generally thought not to have hit the same heights as the BBC's Not Only But Also which preceded it, viewers have never really had the chance to make their own minds up as the show has not been broadcast since 1968.
		This is despite the scarcity of Pete and Dud material, with the BBC having wiped much of the original show's footage.

	Pete And Dud Come Again at The Venue, Leicester Square, from 2 March 2006
		They were Pete & Dud, the Lennon & McCartney of British comedy, as indivisible as fish & chips or gin & tonic, keeping such huge audiences glued to their TVs in the 60s and 70s that the likes of Little Britain can only dream of achieving similarly phenomenal viewing figures.
		Pete was the well-bred genius who revolutionised satire but whose ambition, by his own admission, abruptly vanished soon after achieving fame.
		Pete And Dud Come Again was a hit of the 2005 Edinburgh festival and nominee for the coveted Scotsman Fringe First Award.

		Pete and Dud are standing in Madame Tussaud's, surrounded by wax effigies.
		Pete and Dud's illuminating historical lecture can be read in full in the current issue of Publish and Bedazzled, the magazine of the Peter Cook Appreciation Society.
		Derek and Clive have been variously described as "Pete and Dud on speed" and "a punk Pete and Dud", and the rambling, freewheeling style is certainly reminiscent of Cook and Moore's earlier characters.

		Some of Pete and Dud: Come Again's funniest moments see these boys conquering Edinburgh and then in no time the United States, where JFK and Jackie were illustrious fans.
		Pete and Dud: Come Again is now a hybrid mix of TV interview, biographical flashback and reruns of comedy sketches.
		Pete and Dud: Come Again may not be quite there yet but, like Round the Horne Revisited which also managed a popular UK tour, it just might find the formula to allow a long run at the Venue.

	Pete and Dud Come Again / Peter Brown Theatre Reviewer / London Theatre Reviews /
		'Pete and Dud: Come Again' is different in that it's not based solely on a TV or radio programme, though many people will remember the principal characters from the BBC TV series 'Not Only...
		'Pete and Dud: Come Again' is about the on and off-screen relationship between the comedy duo of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore - known affectionately to British audiences as simply 'Pete & Dud' (derived from two 'pub philosophers' they frequently caricatured) - who were at the forefront of the satirical movement of the early 1960s.
		It's also shown quite clearly in several parts of 'Pete and Dud: Come Again', for example when Cook talks about a 'bear-proof cat flap', or when asked his impressions when he met the Queen after a Royal variety Performance says "She (the Queen) looks a lot taller than she does on the stamps".

	OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2005/Pete and Dud - The Lost Tapes
		For once, though, such suspicion proved to be utterly groundless; the footage itself appeared in its original monochrome videotaped form, and the contextualising was limited to a simple explanatory caption card at the start and a couple of equally effective extracts from an Australian television news report covering their contemporaneous tour of the country.
		Despite having been edited down from a much longer recording, Pete and Dud - The Lost Tapes was no "greatest hits" package and managed to live up to the implications of its title in impressive style.
		There are of course the expected Pete and Dud dialogues and closing performance of "Goodbyee", but the other sketches are often infused with a sense of downright strangeness.

	Not Only...But Also
		During their heyday in the 1960's, this classic comedy act had audiences in stitches with their outrageous tomfoolery from "Beyond The Fringe." In a brand new sketch, Pete and Dud prove they haven't lost their comic touch.
		It kicks off this hilarious compilation video that relives the laughter of some of their most famous moments including "Bo Dudley", "Bloody Greta Garbo", "Pete and Dud at the London Zoo", "The Order of St. Beryl" and more.
		Pete and Dud are one of a kind!"

	Peter Cook
		Using few props, and with musical interludes performed by Moore, they created a new style of dry absurdist televison which found a place in the mainstream.
		The more risque humour of the Pete and Dud characters was taken to excess on long-playing records whereon the names "Derek and Clive" were used.
		Perhaps Cook's most enduring comic character is the static, dour, and monotone E. Wisty, created in this period.

		was one of the smartest sketch shows ever televised, and in Pete and Dud - a couple of amateur philosophers in flat caps and flashers' macs - Cook and Moore created a pair of priceless idiots as timeless as Laurel and Hardy's bowler hatted ne'er do wells.
		As Johnson says, "Pete and Dud are one of the major roots of it all."
		Moore made two more LPs with Cook (as Derek and Clive, their X-rated versions of Pete and Dud) but these malevolent albums lacked the warmth of their Derek and Clive debut - a profane but amiable bootleg, recorded purely for their own amusement during the Broadway run of Good Evening.

	The Stage \| Reviews \| Pete and Dud - Come Again (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Fictional theatrical reunions of estranged friends and/or former partners are all the rage at the moment from Embers and Southwark Fair to Blackbird, but Pete and Dud: Come Again revisits, as the title suggests, a legendary real-life comic partnership.
		The stage is set for an unexpected reunion between the two when Dud returns to England from Hollywood - where by now he has reinvented himself as a “sex thimble” - to promote a film.
		It’s a canny device and is carried by uncanny impersonations by Kevin Bishop (masterfully ingratiating as Dud) and Tom Goodman-Hill (new to the cast since Edinburgh, who as Cook has just the right dry laconic air of a man who lost himself in drink) into the realm of something richer, deeper and darker.

		When Pete's mom tickles him and his father informs him that "pizzas are not supposed to laugh", Pete replies (a little peevishly), "Pizza-makers are not supposed to tickle their pizzas!" Hard to argue that point.
		As a result of the tragic killing of Pete's younger brother Leonard, an association began with a sympathetic FBI agent, Marjorie Ann Tilly.
		Pete, a computer whiz, helped Tilly design some revolutionary software for the FBI.

		It's a good job that Decca were so keen to exploit the success of "Not Only But Also" on record, as without their foresight it's safe to say that some of the material would now no longer exist in any form, after the BBC's infamous destruction of most of the shows.
		Decca couldn't pass up the opportunity to release Pete & Dud's theme song, "Goodbyeee" as a single in June 1965 (Decca F12158).
