		Cook made appearances in a number of programmes throughout the 1980s, notably as Richard III in the first series of Blackadder but he also made a successful show for ITV, Peter Cook and Co, most memorable for a sketch involving Roald Dahl setting fire to his own living room.
		Peter Cook died on 9 January, 1995, having suffered a gastrointestinal haemorrhage (a direct result of severe liver damage) in the intensive-care unit of the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London.

	BBC - Comedy - Not Only... But Also
		Despite his apparent dominance in the partnership, Peter Cook was a late addition to the show, which had been conceived as a solo vehicle for Moore (the But Also… was intended to highlight the presence of a weekly special guest).
		So infectious was this that Cook himself was not immune and with both performers 'corpsing', the audience could not fail to be swept along in a tidal wave of joyful mirth.
		Cook specialised in offbeat character; including Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling, an eccentric and thoroughly British buffoon regaling the audience with tales of his bizarre and pointless exploits.

	Peter Cook Tribute \| Free online memorial community \| Create a Tribute and share your memories - Respectance
		Cook's significance to modern British comedy is regarded as immense: he is acknowledged as the main influence on a long stream of comedians who have followed him from the amateur dramatic clubs of British universities to the Edinburgh festival, and thence to the radio and television studios of the BBC.
		Some have seen Cook's life as tragic, in so far as the brilliance he exhibited in his youth did not fully lead to the recognition many thought he deserved.
		Ten years after his death, in January 2005, Peter Cook was ranked number one in a list entitled The Comedian's Comedian, a poll of more than 300 comics, comedy writers, producers, and directors throughout the Anglosphere and shown on Channel 4 in the UK.

	Peter Cook - Dudley Moore - Interesting Motherfuckers - Acid Logic ezine
		Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were a classical comedy team - Cook was tall, handsome, and glamorous and Moore wasn't.
		Peter Cook and Dudley Moore first came to prominance as one half of the cast of "Beyond The Fringe", a comedy sketch show that was a huge hit on the London stage, Broadway, and a lot of other places full of people who ordinarily couldn't care less about anything on the London stage or Broadway.

	Peter Cook at 2UBE.com - TV with a life of its own
		Peter Cook would probably have been the first to admit that dying can be a good career move; none the less, he would have been pretty revolted at the sycophantic rubbish that has come has way since he died.
		What we do know is that Cook rose through the footlights, with "Beyond The Fringe", then achieved amazing things with Dudly Moore in "Not Only But Also".
		History will also remember Peter Cook as the proprietor and supporter of Private Eye magazine; he contributed to that august journal, especially in its early, more scurrilous years, and gave generously when libel suits threatened to close the whole operation.
