5 out of 5 stars Surreal wordplay   January 9, 2003
  19 out of 20 found this review helpful

This all-too-brief collection of Pete and Dud in 'Not only but Also' illustrates Cook's brilliant, surreal humour, and his exquisite wordplay, suggesting that he was the true heir to Spike Milligan's comic genius.brThe classic track is 'The Ravens' and Cook as Sir Arthur Streeb Greebling admitting the failure of his life's work, namely to teach ravens to fly underwater.brIn 'The Psychiatrist' Cook sends up British reserve and the inability of people to express themselves directly and say what they mean.brAnother favourite is 'The Art Gallery' which satirises responses to art in a popular culture.brThe one classic missing from this collection is 'Tramponuns' which is also one of the few surviving video tapes. (available on the BBC video of their sketches)brThe pair had an untold influence on successive generation of comedians in the UK,not least on Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith, who duplicated the two men having a heart-to heart sketch, brbut with less subtlety and a good deal less inventiveness.


5 out of 5 stars CLASSIC!   June 19, 2001
  35 out of 38 found this review helpful

Much has been said about the genius of Peter Cook and his contribution to 60s comedy with Dudley Moore but this CD allows you to hear the humour without need for any analysis. Some tracks like 'Lengths' are a little dated but there are more timeless tracks like 'Art Gallery' and 'Father Son' to more than make up for that. The clever wordplay, the subtle pushing at the BBCs boundaries the out and out belly laughs - this has them all. If you don't have any Peter Dud in your collection you need this. Buy it, listen to it and worship at the alter of greatness.
