Some More Moore with Cook

The other day, I had a clip of Peter Cook in Beyond the Fringe performing his character 'E.L. Wisty' who regularly philosophized on a park bench about his Great Thoughts on the world..  Later, when he and Dudley Moore teamed up for their series, Not Only, But Also, on the BBC in the mid-1960s, they created a couple of someone similar characters, at least in theory.  That would be 'Pete & Dud', two lower-class cockneys who fancied themselves all-knowing  about the ways of the world, and and analyzed all the details in various settings.  'Pete' tended to be more of a know-it-all, while 'Dud' a touch more insecure, trying to keep up.  But together they were a wonderful pair.

It's been three years since I posted them waxing about doctors, which is far too long to long without jumping back to them.  (Which you can see here​.)  So, let's correct that. Here they are breaking down the world of fine art.  I get the sense that the two often ad-libbed a bit through these, Peter Cook going off on his own tangents a bit more often, and you can likely see that here where at one point Dudley Moore struggles to keep from cracking up.
