Peter Cook & Dudley Moore - Goodbye Again (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780099472568
Synopsis
The Transcripts.
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are still commonly regarded as the greatest comic double act that Great Britain has ever produced. Today it's impossible to imagine modern sketch shows without them. If you're a fan of Monty Python, The Comic Strip or The Fast Show, then you're a fan of Cook and Moore.
This collection of their works is a comprehensive compilation of the finest sketches that Cook and Moore ever wrote together - from the beginning of their partnership, in the ground-breaking stage show, Beyond The Fringe, to the notorious taboo busting Derek and Clive LPs that captured the spirit of punk rock, and inspired the scatological anarchy of Alternative Comedy.
Featuring transcripts of one night stands long since almost forgotten, such as their Royal Variety performance, as well as a wealth of virtually unknown material, including previously unpublished scripts for Not Only But Also, Goodbye Again promises to be a revelation, even for Cook and Moore's most informed fans. As well as illuminating their work, this book also promises to shed light on their intimate yet turbulent relationship. It will show how these two diametrically opposed men; tall and athletic Cook from a middle class, public boarding school background, and diminutive, club-footed Moore, working class, but with an impressive musical talent came together to develop the closest of partnerships based on an instinctive, virtually intuitive sense of humour.
Goodbye Again will chart the extraordinary friendship between the two men and it's almost telepathic intensity, which not only bought them together but also pulled them apart time after time, until their eventual reconciliation. It's a book not only for confirmed Cook and Moore fans, old and new, but also for anyone who's interested in comedy, popular culture - and, above all, for anyone who loves to laugh.
