Considering Peter Sellers was a notorious giggler when acting and that Dudley Moore is struggling all through this to not burst into laughter how the hell did they get through this????Loved this!!!! 3 great legends!!
It's very rare these days to find such passion and chemistry amongst comedians. To watch these 3 gods of comedy pulling out all the stops to make each other laugh is simply television gold. Thanks for finding it.
Brilliant sketch, very well written & performed by three greats .. the best bits, as usual with Pete & Dud, when the corpsing & improvising happens. Genius!!
I love it when the comedians find it funny too. The old American comedian Red Skelton used to crack himself up too. He would say, " I know what's coming, you see". He would also say, if the joke was a bit obscure or didn't get a laugh..."I just tell 'em, I don't explain 'em !"
Absolutely brilliant. I will indeed keep my avant garde up! Not Only But Also was great. I had the good fortune to interview Dudley Moore as a lad. Great insights.
I think so too...Sellers didn't do that often, he was very controlled, normally. But I think there was an audience and also it was probably a lot of ad lib so the funny bits might catch him unawares before he could steel himself not to laugh. I once performed in a very funny comedy and the only way I could keep a straight face was to bend one of my fingers back ( without being seen of course) so that it hurt, and the pain centre was stronger than the laughing centre of my brain.
Three comic genius' together . A real tonic. And what great writing ! So remember - 'Keep your avant garde up. In the event of a knockdown retire to a neutral colour. ..Come out painting..'
Durins Bane You‘re a bit of a genius yourself - ever tried coaching? I‘m sure there are waves of impressionistic youths out there looking for a chance to take on some of the heavyweights - Gogh, Picasso and da Vinci - who could benefit from your technique-coloured background and are dyeing to show the punters what they can dhue.
Priceless indeed. By 2 minutes Sellers is already on the ragged edge of his improv. By 4 minutes Moore is "corpsing". And clean through to the end Cook is doing everything he possibly can to...well, not to yield. They must've needed a very long break afterwards...
Pete 'n Dud's two geezers in the pub routine was influenced by Milligan and Sellers' work with "The Goons" and Sellers' solo LP's, "Songs for Swinging Sellers" and the EP with "Balham: Gateway to the South." This sketch was reworked with female movie stars clamouring at the bedroom window to get in in the middle of the night, and Pete 'no Dud sending them away imperiously!
watching this dicotomy (sp?) of concepts style of humor is fabulous and seems to be a very British thing in general. I can see from whom the Python Troup perhaps got their sensibilities. very funny stuff.
Beaufort Scale of MIRTH:~ smirk/titter/chuckle/laugh/guffaw/side-slapping/uncontrollable rocking & wheezing/eyes watering/gasping for breath/virtual pain in tum muscles/falling off chair......I went the whole gamut with this GENIUS!!! Bloody Marvellous!!
Having seen the John Lennon bits with Cook & Moore previously, and now watching this, I'm suddenly struck by how much Sellers looks like Lennon. (And they both had hit records with "She Loves You"!) It may just be the nose, though -- I'm quite fond of Renaissance noses myself...
Wonderful... just a side note, Ushio Shinohara of the Gutai group was doing "boxing paintings" earing a mohawnk hairstyle was boxing canvas with paint soaked boxing gloves. William Klein photographs are probably the most non punk, punk thing I have ever seen in my life. Obviously Peter Cook, Peter Sellers and Dud Moore were aware of the latest avangarde coming from Japan. A true masterpice!
Great sketch, ruined by a ridiculous bbc logo thru the middle of the frame. The bbc ''Where truth and integrity go to die'' ditch the license fee, asap imo
Fantastic! Have seen it for the very first time! Peter Sellers was a genius.
Considering Peter Sellers was a notorious giggler when acting and that Dudley Moore is struggling all through this to not burst into laughter how the hell did they get through this????Loved this!!!! 3 great legends!!
yes, it's hilarious when they lose it. like the pete & dud's shepherd sketch... they could barely keep a straight face!

Three of the greatest British comic geniuses caught on film together. We will never see the likes of them again.
Adrian Larkins took the words right out of my mouth!
but we were lucky enough to see someone like Rowan Atkinson, he is also one of a kind
Agree completely
Three gods of comedy at the top of their game. Dudley and Sellers crack up constantly, and why not - it IS very funny.
Brilliant sketch, very well written & performed by three greats .. the best bits, as usual with Pete & Dud, when the corpsing & improvising happens. Genius!!
That was brilliant and I tell you what, Peter Sellers had a great right jab 🤣🥊
Oh the joy. Three of our finest comedy performers in full flow. "In case of a knockdown retire to a neutral colour!" Bloody priceless.
Keep your avant-garde up !
@@letosvet1 Love it! :)
"Meself ; I prefer birds....." Cheers for upload - I've ever seen this before . 3 of my favourite people*
I love it when the comedians find it funny too. The old American comedian Red Skelton used to crack himself up too. He would say, " I know what's coming, you see". He would also say, if the joke was a bit obscure or didn't get a laugh..."I just tell 'em, I don't explain 'em !"
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
They are so spontaneous in their act! Brilliant writing! Current comics are brain fades
Absolutely brilliant. I will indeed keep my avant garde up! Not Only But Also was great. I had the good fortune to interview Dudley Moore as a lad. Great insights.
The " trying not to laugh" moments are the most precious.
I think so too...Sellers didn't do that often, he was very controlled, normally. But I think there was an audience and also it was probably a lot of ad lib so the funny bits might catch him unawares before he could steel himself not to laugh.

What a trio.
Absolute class
Absolutely priceless!. One of my all time best sketches...cracks me up every time I see it!. :)

Just saw the whole sketch 🎨 just goes to show that forgery is also an art form.. hope you find the next Muhammad ⏳ dali 🤜🏾
Ah every bit of this is pure enjoyment, the self gratifying corpsing is delightful as always. I love it.
How could he remember such lengthy dialogues and deliver without pausing or breaking into laughter!
Priceless indeed. By 2 minutes Sellers is already on the ragged edge of his improv. By 4 minutes Moore is "corpsing". And clean through to the end Cook is doing everything he possibly can to...well, not to yield. They must've needed a very long break afterwards...
'It's the Arch Bishop of Bleedin' Canterbury' - my new catchphrase! Nice...
Another classic that was thought to have been lost forever!

The lord has all these guys to entertain him! Don’t want to share these geniuses with mere mortals like us!
FANTASTIC !!!
Peter couldn't stop laughing... Genius
Don’t you mean Dudley? Peter is doing the interview completely straight faced.
" Keep Your Avant Garde Up ! Brilliant ! :)
Sellers dudley moore and Peter Cook where a great team love british humor 😁😂😂😂
"Looking at your paintings, I would say you were something of a tachist?" Wonderful.
oh no, no, no one's ever accused me of that, I love all my bruvers of colour
Amazing! 3 comedy legends working together!
Brilliant!
WOWOWOOW! thank you for these!
Marvellous stuff. Two notorious corpsers like Moore and Sellers were always going to lose it!
3 Geniuses!
This is an inspired surreal sketch that seems to have been improvised by all three. How they avoided corpsing is nothing short of miraculous.
watching this dicotomy (sp?) of concepts style of humor is fabulous and seems to be a very British thing in general. I can see from whom the Python Troup perhaps got their sensibilities. very funny stuff.

'Been on the canvas ever since' lol Probably the word that grew the seed of the sketch in Peter's mind lol + 'jab' and 'dab' lol
Genius
The ironic thing is that painting is probably worth a lot of money now.
Love the stitches drawn on his cheek.
Incredibly funny. The corpsing especially
PC:"I believe Tintoretto was astigmatic" PS: "Well I had that too..."
I believe he said I HEARD that too !
@@TonyWhite22351yes, because he then says, 'but not me, I like birds'
8:10 onwards has tears rolling down my face...
Love the Sellers Cockney Geezah!
Hilarious, 3 comic geniuses ☺☺
Sellers doing a Cook on Dudley , getting him to crack , and Dud returning in kind . 3 comic geniuses ❤😂 .
If only current sketch comedy equaled this.
Not in a million years could the current lot ever come close to this skit!
Three of the best comedians ever 😂😂😂
The mural division😂😂😂😂
"Who whos".
Thanks for this. Bleedin' geniuses!
😂😂😂😂
What's a who who's?
StartabandRoxy they deliberately got it wrong. Who's Who is a volume of the gentry in the UK.
brilliant
And Cook the ice-cold, unflappable maestro. I know which I prefer ;-)
Fantastic!! Archbishop of bleeding Canterbury.....LOL,!
Look at Dudley Moore--he keeps having to hide his face! Ha-ha!
They were fantastic ! This will never date….❤
do you think "my vistas was enlarged" was off the cuff? The look Dudley gives to Peter suggests it was
they were all great at ad-libbing....you can see peter smile off and on...Look at dudley trying to stifle his laugh
"I ask'd a likely sir if I could capture 'im on canvas an' immor'alise 'im in oils"
Utterly un-equalled comedy. Not one word of profanity and hilarious. I was named after Dudley Moore, too.
Brilliant
If you can't laugh at your own jokes you can't expect anyone else to laugh at them. 😂😂
Having seen the John Lennon bits with Cook & Moore previously, and now watching this, I'm suddenly struck by how much Sellers looks like Lennon. (And they both had hit records with "She Loves You"!)
It may just be the nose, though -- I'm quite fond of Renaissance noses myself...
A Hard Days Night.
What an assemblage of talent!
The best
Wonderful... just a side note, Ushio Shinohara of the Gutai group was doing "boxing paintings" earing a mohawnk hairstyle was boxing canvas with paint soaked boxing gloves. William Klein photographs are probably the most non punk, punk thing I have ever seen in my life. Obviously Peter Cook, Peter Sellers and Dud Moore were aware of the latest avangarde coming from Japan. A true masterpice!
Talking about making a comeback after a setback six months before - THIS must have been about six months after Sellers' first heart-attack.
How the hell did you find this?
Mike , if you decide to watch this, it's better if you can avoid watching the sub titles below.
Hilarious x
Gold 😅❤
watch peter cook's eyes and peter sellers...I think they were reading off cue cards...Nevertheless great performance..just sitting there and talking..
Didn't know Sellers ever performed with Pete and Dud. Makes me wonder what Cook and Sellers thought of each other.
They didn’t many times . They definitely tried to make the others laugh. Great comedy .
Jackson Bollocks
Who whos?
lovely... hee
What's the worst job you've ever had?
Crying
Brilliant may be the word ?
Sellers is trying hard to control himself there.
Great sketch, ruined by a ridiculous bbc logo thru the middle of the frame. The bbc ''Where truth and integrity go to die'' ditch the license fee, asap imo
i finish him off in the 8th with a palette knife
Kin hell,this is too much.....
