    The Dagenham Dialogues
    by Peter Cook & Dudley Moore

    Someone in my family is a big collector of anything Pete & Dud. Would appreciate a warning, if possible, and I'll try to bid for it.

    Ahh, the shorty nightie...

    The Dagenham Dialogues
    by Peter Cook & Dudley Moore


    Ooooweeee ! That sounds very much like the title I've been trying to remember for years and years. Wayyyyy back in the early 80s, when in't 7th Form, I had a 'free period' (as we called it in those days, no double entendre intended), and I spent a brilliant hour in the school library reading the collected Pete n Dud scripts (from either Not Only But Also or Do Not Adjust Your Set).

    Only a year earlier, an English guy turned up in the 6th form (his family had emigrated from UK) with what was then a banned audio tape of Cook and Moore doing some hilarious improvised stuff whilst pissed out of their heads in the early/mid 70s. Can't quite remember the title, but still remember most of the dialogue. I was never able to think of the Queen Mother in quite the same way again.

    Oh and thanks for the clip Recordari.

  • giovanni tiso,

    I think young Peter Cook was not out of Betty Grable's league at all - he was quite dashing in his day (esp. around the time of Bedazzled).
