Dudley Moore and Peter Cook were the Cheech and Chong. of London in the late 60s and 70s. Brilliant characters, lewd, revealing stories, brave and unremorseful vulgar humor.
They are familiar to you all, from movies and such but in America, they didn’t do much together.
In Jolly England, they were part of the amazing comedy team performing “Beyond The Fringe.” which eventually translated into television and moved into the lore of comedy.
