Nice one of Peter Cook in London, 1970:

After watching Peter's conversations with Parky on the recent BBC4 repeat, I'm bumping this thread on one of my favourite performers.

To share a photo with you, of Peter with his second wife Judy Huxtable:



and to point you towards those Parkinson interviews, where I have to say Peter looks absolutely fabulous in that hat:



I think he was an amazing, talented, unique and - especially as George Spiggott in Bedazzled - adorable individual. Clever and astute too. He's still very much missed.

(A little tribute I wrote for him on my blog - http://loureviews.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/peter-cook/).

The only time I ever found the man remotely funny.

Didn't rate Dud either, although he could at least play the piano.

Each to their own I suppose, humour is as we all know very subjective.

Cook was/is often under scrutiny of his acting talents, but I genuinely think he shines in the vast majority of his film/tv appearances outside of the sketch work. He's hilarious in the Whoops Apocalypse film and practically saves Yellowbeard .
