@garymorgan3314 2 жыл бұрын

Arguably the most important thing he did was be the proprietor of Private Eye and to ensure the strength of Private Eye even to this day. That John Cleese said he's the funniest man he ever met is enough for me. Thst he effectively kept investigative journalism alive in my homeland makes me as happy as any of his comedy did. That is saying something.

He was most certainly one of the handful of our satirical geniuses. But he was tight and high and a menace to himself in this interview and all I can do now when I watch this is remember how it felt when we lost him far too soon in '96. Well, maybe that's my problem, but I still wish he'd found some kind of way of being more than existentially incomplete in his later years. But who could convince a kind-hearted renegade genius of anything, even if he wanted them to?

@blackmore4 2 жыл бұрын

I'm approaching 60 years old and I've listened, watched and read the wonderful Peter Cooke all my life. Every interview, every comedy skit, every editorial. Can't believe there is much in print he has written that I haven't read. Much of it many times. And for the life of me I can't see where the political or social overlap with Ian Hislop is. (!?) How Private Eye survived the change and remained even vaguely "similar" is beyond me. (Much prefer Peter's take on the world by the way. No contest)

I remember watching this and Clive Anderson got him back a few weeks later to do a full show with Peter improvising two characters one of them a football manager.

All comedians are sweethearts. They want to make people either laugh or respect them or feel warm towards them or at least make people know some internal world or viewpoint that many seem to lack. Cook was .. a genius. An adorable , towering intellect , generous , precise yet affable genius the kind of which only Cambridge, and occasionally Oxford, University seems to produce (aside from Ivy Leagues) where showbiz and learnedness are comfortable bedfellows in the body of ever young minds who must understandably struggle with the harshness that the world is not, actually, them.

@petermorningsnow 6 жыл бұрын

Well, the world is not, first of all. Secondly, pandering to ivy leagues is kissing up to oxford, which is kissing up to cambridge, a slippery slope in reverse. You haven't got the free verse thing worked out is my point.

He'd have been about 55 at the time. Just 3 more years to live. I wonder what he'd have been like, if he were still alive? Some comedians go right off the boil (such as George Carlin, who was brilliant in the 1960s and 70s but became dark, cynical and politically progressive in later life). I doubt if Peter Cook would have ever been influenced by "groupthink" and probably would have maintained his disrespect for everyone - including Hollywood progressives.

@BlookbugIV 2 жыл бұрын

Carlin was great as he aged. I think his very last show was one of his best. He was left-leaning, but said the censorious pc types were just as bad as the killjoys on the religious right, just coming from another direction. In particular Carlin would’ve been against ideologues messing with our language, that was something he was already critical of before he died.

I'm 100% sure about this. I've been to many studio recordings for comedies over the years, and the laughs they record are very real. Even in the states, many sitcoms were and are recorded in front of an audience, and chat shows almost always are. In many shows they'll even occasionally cut to a shot of the audience or (like Have I Got News For You) even open with a wide shot showing the audience. 'Canned' laughter is virtually nonexistent in comedy these days. If you hear laughter, you're hearing an audience watching the show.

@serpenthydra 5 жыл бұрын

In my experience of canned laughter - 4:20 would never happen for the point of it is to illustrate where the jokes are. Subsequently, the line 'there were alot of Germans around' constitutes a setup and therefore doesn't warrant the resulting titter - which to me demonstrates its genuine nature...

@@d7sfblab Positvely live. Anderson's show was recorded in front of a live audience. It's not particularly exaggerated, the sound engineer rides the volume of the audience mics (there are several) so that they don't override the interview, but the little interjections by members of the audience are a dead give away, you never have anything like that on canned audience, plus there would be nothing for Anderson or Cook to respond to as they do several times in the interview.
