Peter Edward Cook (17 November 1937 - 9 January 1995) was an English comedian, actor, satirist, playwright and screenwriter.

The BBC should be prosecuted for vandalism no other company destroyed work like they did . just look at Dr Who all long gone forever . an organisation i loath to this day . RIP Peter
At the age of nearly 72 i am sadened to see how young my favourite celebrities have passed, far too young to have lived full lives, never forgotten.
Young 🤔
It was a miracle he got anywhere near 72 the way he abused his body.
It is so sad,i agree💔
"Dear Peter Cook, would many years ago, call up LBC Radio, pretending to be Norwegian fisherman 'Sven'. complete with accent, & totally cheeky!. He's probably still, telling his Mrs endless jokes, in a variety of accents!. Bless!. Thanks for showing us their final resting place. Best wishes".🙏🕊️🕯️
I still listen to those albums to the point I know all the words. One of the smartest and funniest British comedians this country has produced. Sadly missed. Went far too soon. Great video.
I loved and still love Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. I can't believe how young Peter was when he passed away. It's crazy. Thanks for the incredible and side splitting genius laughter.
Derek & Clive 'This bloke came up to me' is the funniest thing that's ever been produced. Absolutely sheer magic,
"You saw this bloke...."
Thank you Paul for telling us about Peter cooks life story it was so interesting he died so young Dudley more was also young when he died they were both talented actors of comedy may they rest in peace ❤👼👼❤️
"Dear c***s in charge of religion..." LOVED Derek & Clive 🤣
Just write C*** London it will find them 🤣🤣🤣
Paul wat a fantastic duo Peter cook an Dudley Moore both a pair of genius so so funny an hilarious never be the likes of them again thanks paul cnt wait 👍👍👌👌💥💥👌👌👍👍
Huge thanks again Paul another great show.peter cook was a comical genious Derek and Clive hours of laughter shared listening to them both especially the nurse. skit they did.thank you Peter for all the fun and laughter you bought us.R.I.P Peter cook
Such a funny comedian and writer. RIP Genius
I love the early hours of the morning. I think it’s the best time of day when the birds start their day also.
I know who Peter Cook was but I’m too young to know his comedy.
The great thing about your videos is I tend to go and find out more about the people you cover. I find it so interesting.
I’m love walking round graveyards. I’d like to visit Highgate one day.
Thank you for getting up so early, and driving hours to get there.
It is much appreciated.
Thank you 💖💖💖
That was a cracking video. London churchyards are an incredible oasis in the city. Peter was 57 when he died of , basically, booze but he enjoyed his life and enriched others' including mine who was a Private Eye subscriber for many years until Brexit came along. Thank you.
I do hope you keep on visiting the famous and infamous characters that we all remember. I love watching your posts. It’s great that you give a little info on each one. Thankyou very much.
Massive fan of Peter Cook he is the greatest comedian that UK has made thanks for showing us were the great man is that peace
the horse riding section of Derek and Clive LOL
She probably kept his ashes and when she passed they both were laid to rest.Thank you for sharing!
'The Wrong Box' was on the tv the other day. Underrated comedy movie.....Didn't Cook become very envious of Moore, especially when he became a Hollywood star?
The huge old fashioned Oliver Twist style lamp posts at the start are so cool. Beautiful area. I laugh so much at 'Mr Jolly Lives Next Door' (one of the Comic Strip, Rik Mayall series). Peter Cook as the crazy Mr Jolly (who was not jolly at all in it!!) Brilliant.
I just saw an old clip of Peter and Dudley Moore on an old Dick Cavett show. Hilarious I loved Peter Cook
Wow what a beautiful churchyard cemetery thank you for showing us Peter Cooks grave. My parents grew up watching Pete and Dud and loved both of them. My experience with Peter was when he stared in the movie “Supergirl” in the early 80s. Rest in Peace Peter💐 love Dudley to especially the movie 10 and Santa Clause the movie. My mum has a close up photo of Dudley from the late 60s when he came out to Melbourne Australia to play piano in concert. ❤️love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️
Worked in hamstead high Street in late 80ies, used to see Peter Cook and his wife occasionally passing by I think she was from Japan.
Pete and Dud,superb,especially when Dud can hardly carry on,as Pete loved to make him corpse.Thank you.
I was always more of a Dudley Moore 'fan' due to him appearing in more mainstream comedy and films (I was born in 1961) so much of his early TV stuff would have escaped me. I was shocked to find out that Peter Cook was local to me - I never knew he was born and raised in Devon.
My favourite Derek and Clive moment was the Whales national Anthem
thanks Paul when i was younger i didnt really get pete and dud its only in my late forties early fifties i dropped back on them and now adays i get the comic genius of cooks writing
Great job sir!.....He was a very clever funny man!
That's one spooky Cemetery 👻, good Video thank-you 👍
I use to like the dialogue/sketches of both pete & dud sitting in a art gallery dressed in overcoats & flat caps with dudley eating sandwiches
A great talent gone to soon I remember them well.
It's a little crowded there LOL Thanks so much
I grew up with my Dad playing Derek and Clive vinyls.
Loved Peter Cooks sense of humour. He is up there as one of my favourite comics. ❤
Another brilliant video 👌
Thanks again!
Yes I remember him with Dudley Moore. Brilliant you take care keep safe all the family drive carefully 😊👍
"And the pong from that was fucking staggering" 😂😂😂 loved this.
Omg heaven will be rolling in the aisles with pete an Dudley both there lol thanks paul done with so much respect never will this comic duo be replaced they were amazen comics 👍👍👍
Yes he played one of the opening scenes to the 1984 Supergirl film
Loved Derek and Clive, Heard the live version when I was about 20, There wasn't an Lp going round the pub I used, The same things are shown on you tube, The live version is more blue, Thanks for this memory of my youth.
Peter Cook was a comedy genius. I loved everything he did from his early stuff to Pete n Dud and Derek n Clive!
Thank you for yet another respectful & informative video.
GREAT VIDEO PAUL
DONT REMEMBER PETER THAT WELL ONLY FROM SOME SKETCHES ON TV WITH DUDLEY
THEY SEEMED VERY AT EASE AND FUNNY TOGETHER THOUGH
THAT CEMETERY SPOOKED ME A LITTLE PAUL
BUT ANYWAY IM GLAD PETER GOT HIS HEADSTONE NICE ONE
R I P PETER COOK 🙏🥀
I remember watching him with my dad , I also love Dudley too . Thanks for what you do ❤️
Met him few times when i worked on London underground and was a n inspector at Hampstead stn, was always a very nice person.
His film Bedazzled is brilliant, Peter Cook as Satan has to be seen and enjoyed! He also guested in an episode of One Foot In The Grave, if memory serves me correctly, it was the feature film special, One Foot In The Algarve!
Love Pete and Dud, can you imagine those two presenting I'm a Celebrity, what a double act. You can Google them now doubt and see their sketches like Derek and Clive sitting at a pub table with Petes dead pan face and Duds twitchy face comments.
One of my favourites is their end of a Top of the Pops singing "Goodbye ". Duddly was a talented pianist which was worked into their act. Thanks again Paul.
Excellent, loved Pete and Dud, so glad they have put a headstone for him. He was brillliant as Richard III in Blackadder too 😆
I am so happy he has a stone!... I for one do not like unmarked graves. I would mark them all if I can. I have a group who are trying to mark actor Michael J. Dolan's grave in Dublin....and I am looking at a couple in Hollywood Forever. Thank you, Paul!
Peter Cook was brilliant in Black Adder, Iconic actor
Watching a Miss Marple film on TV (love the old b&w films!) and I wondered if you'd done a visit to Margaret Rutherford's resting place . . . I've had a search on your video's and can't find anything so am here making the suggestion.
She's a truly fantastic lady with lots and lots of interesting history some of which would probably be a great surprise to your many followers and subscribers. I know she's buried, along with her husband, in St. James's Church, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. She has quite a distinctive headstone so I think you'd find it pretty easy.
Hope you don't mind me making a suggestion . . . I'm watching 'Murder She Said' right now as I'm typing, and I thought she'd make a really great subject for one of your video's.
Have a blessed day Paul. ~ Cobs. (uk)
Thank you for this showing as he was so funny. I liked him on chat shows, always funny. And yes, Derek and Clive always fun.
Hi Paul 👋 my dad was also born in 1937 Like Peter Cook, he and my dad the same age but my dad live longer. Thanks for sharing the story and life of him. take care.😊
I own a old LP record of Derek and Clive 😂 it’s one of the funniest things i have ever heard
Great tribute to Peter Cook I remember Not Only But Also, Again like you say he was not for everyone, I liked the sketches Dud & Pete Peter always made Dudley crack up so funny.
He was a genius and I loved him
Another good one mate 👍 The model for The Young Ones and anarchic comedy long before 1980s "alternative" stuff, Peter usually winged it but it worked. He's still an icon of comedy and satire. Between 1967 and 1978 the BBC routinely and irretrievably deleted archived programmes for spurious reasons really, claiming lack of space, scarcity of materials or no rights for rebroadcasting. Genuine reasons or just BBC censorship, who can say. But we've lost a great deal of our heritage. RIP Pete.
I remember seeing him on the Clive Anderson show where he played three characters. The sketches were Peter and Dudley kept trying to make each other laugh were great too. RIP Peter Cook (and Dudley Moore).
As a Cockney I loved Derek and Clive's humour.... especially "those sketches" haha!! Dudley was a Dagenham boy and I worked out of Dagenham nick for years. Legends. Top video Paul. Much love mate.
It was really weird after I'd watched your visit to Peter Cook and you said how much you wanted to visit Dudley Moore's grave on my list of vids to watch was SCOTTONTAPE when he visited Dudley Moore's grave!! The power of the universe.
peter cook was great ive got him with dudley moore and kenneth williams in a version of hound of the baskevilles. rip peter. hope you are doing well paul x i love the music you play in the background its so fitting anf calm for your videos.
One of my favourite films.
Used to like watching ‘Not only but Also’, especially loved the end of the show when Pete & Dud plus a celebrity guest sat round a ‘swimming’ pool and had to continue story (or was it a rhyme?) and whoever failed was catapulted into the pool from their chair!
Another great video Paul my favourite time mornings when no one is about x
Enjoyed watching the Cook and Moore shows his friend spotty Muldoon Dudley sometimes had a job to keep a straight face in some sketches so funny nice markers for them good video as always keep them coming
I remember Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore, really loved their comedy, watched them on the telly, thanks Paul !!!! What an interesting cemetery ! Look forward to the next video ☺💝

Good to see and hear about Peter Cook, thanks Paul.👍🙂📸
So glad there was a Marker for Peter Cook, and also glad for yourself Paul, its a Huge shame when you drive Miles out to places only to find youve been given misinformation as to the Burial Plots...
That’s great Paul yes he was one of a kind he completed Dudley Moore what a pair them two were .shame peter died young .glad you found his grave marked.
Peter Cook was so great in his funny wit comedy humour I loved him in Bedazzled it was really brilliant in that film. I am also a big fan of dudley moore 🙂 he was one of a kind as well and so funny in his films . I hope one day to visit Peter cook and dudley Moores resting places . I live in florida Pensacola over here we have Bob Ross and many military people resting places from history. It's very nice to see different Graves here
Thank you Maria, trying to gain more viewers from the USA so feel free to spread the word. 🙏🙏
I was at college when Peter Cook died. He was actually younger than I thought he was as his career had been such a long one. I also had no idea his wife had died either.
Cook was an amazing but complicated man. Apparently he could be quite cruel and nasty when the demon drink got the better of him and he supposedly had a love/hate relationship with Dudley Moore too. That bit where you are sarcastic to the woman watching you would have been perfect for one of his snide but funny quips too.
Cook never quite got the career he should have but he was his own worst enemy to some extent. Nevertheless when he was on top form he was brilliant. Comedian Rory McGrath was a good friend of his and has some very very funny stories about Cook (McGrath is an avid Arsenal fan and Cook was a keen Spurs fan so you can make a guess that sarcasm played a big part). Cook also played Richard III in the first series of Blackadder. However he was absolutely hilarious in the 1988 Comic Strip Presents...episode, 'Mr Jolly Lives Next Door'. It's one of the funniest things i've ever seen. To steal a film from his co-stars Adrian Edmondson and the late great Rik Mayall can't be easy, but Cook effortlessly manages to outshine them both in this dark, violent but very funny comedy about a contract killer. Well worth watching if you've never seen it.
Another brilliant video pal, im 67 , grew up in that guys shadow loved the dead pan style, not appreciated by all but whatever floats your boat ,😁👍
Hilarious duo. My dad and my uncle used to do the sketch were they sat opposite each other and discuss what was going on in the world. My mum has ciny film of them. And audio.
Evening Paul, another one taken to early. Shame the grave yard seems very unloved or looked after.
Rest in peace Peter Cook nice headstone!!!🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼
Hi Paul,
Thank you.
In Australia it was quite a departure from then typical British comedy.
I remember the movie Bedazzled which was hilarious.
Surprised to hear he died so young.
Great Posts
PS Amazed at the random scattering of graves.
He was in one foot in the algalve with Richard Wilson and Annette Crosby if I remember correctly
Yea comical genius, thanks for the background info Paul really interesting, perhaps she thought you were a grave robber Paul, you should have brought your lantern with a candle in. 😀
hi paul great video on the late peter cook . so many funny times especially the pub scene with dud ... soooo funny. regarding his ashes. just to the right of his recently fitted plaque there is a tree with a large statue on a plinth.. its the only one in that area.. in front of this statue is were his ashes are scattered. . keep up the good work u do as well as ur nhs job
Hi Paul, just thought I'd let you know, that at the start of this video, you walk right past Ricky Gervais's £11m mansion! Judy Dench used to live just off Church Row as well, love the video as always!
Did, well I didn’t know that…. Which house is it.
As soon as the Peter Cook clip ends, it's the very first house you walk past on Church Row, with the high hedge (no 13)
Wow, I never knew he had done all that! Glad I watched again for the info. Thanks Paul 👍🏻
Peter was a very funny guy taken too soon Rip peter cheers for sharing paul a well put together video as usuall
He was a great comedian along with his comedy partner dudley moore
Gem , cheers Paul.
Yes he was a marmite comedian, i thought he was very funny. I was distracted with that scooter in middle of the road haha.. that graveyard is a bit scary. He was quite young when he passed, i thought he was older. Dudley Moore was great as well. Thank you for this Paul. Rip Peter xx
Hello Paul, I would love to see the video of you travelling to the United States just to see the final resting place of Dudley Moore (1935-2002) in Plainfield, New Jersey. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😀😀😀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The racehorse commentary he did with Dudley Moore was something else never laughed so much in all my life check it out on you tube and just to mention Dudley of course what a fantastic musician he was
Lovely video Paul, as always 😍. Love Hampstead 💗💗love you 💗
Derek and Clive was genius work. So funny. Thanks Paul for another great video. Pity about the person in the car haha
Hello Paul
Thanks for another great video, So young to pass away 😢
Makes me feel so sad to see a Graveyard uncared for 😢
You just don't get people like this on TV any more, it's a shame, all these reality shows are taking up the best entertainment times. So there really isn't enough time for people like Cooke and Moore to entertain us anymore, they just don't get the chance.
Another great video
Thanks Paul
New theme tune? I remember Peter Cook when he played a teacher in the 1984 film Supergirl
Great video thanks Paul. I loved Derek and Clive.. happy days. So glad there’s a marker now. I’ve seen Dudley’s grave. It’s in a beautiful setting very close to where he lived. Definitely worth a visit.
Bazzdelled you defo have peter cook in it comedian funny guy
Thanks for this . A real comedy legend and Derek and Clive is some of the best comedy to ever come out of the UK
What an intresting churchyard ? Grew up watching Peter Cook and Dudley Moore ( my dad was a fan ) like you say their humour wasnt for everyone but I liked it because it was different . So pleased you found he had a marker and rightly so. Look forward to many more of you presentations they are the best !
I remember him in the flim supergirl
Hello Paulie!!
I've noticed you have a new intro song. I like it.
Yesterday was my 1st ever Live Q&A. By the end of it I was surprised how fast it goes by. That hour just zipped by!
While I was sitting there I was trying really hard to think of something to ask, but I was floored by how many questions you were getting and how fast those questions were coming in. Talk about mental sensory overload! Wow!
The only thing I could think of was your chirping parrot, so I asked about that lol.
About Peter Cook, loved his humor.
Cook was a Kook and I thouroughly enjoy British comedies a lot.
Thanks Paul for another banger.
Cheers.
-Jerry.
It’s very fast on the brain and is sensory overload 😂
