When two ordinary blokes spend an hour swearing at each other, it begins to pall after the first 30 seconds. When Peter Cook and Dudley Moore do it, you realize just how incredibly funny they were. Of course it's appalling, yes it's disgusting and as for downright filthy, well, Derek and Clive invented it. As previous comments have said, this was made at the time when Moore had just broken through into Hollywood stardom while Cook was left behind, a comic genius that nobody wanted. It goes without saying that Peter Cook was indeed the funniest man that ever lived, just listen to anything he's ever recorded or filmed. Including this magnificent testimony to the most scabrous comic invention ever to say the word "Fuc-k". But was he really furious with Dud for making it big? I don't think so. Although his alter-ego Clive might have a few words to say about it. All of them prefaced with "fuc-king cun-t" Brilliant stuff, watch it if you can find it and split your sides laughing. Then spend the next couple of hours reciting the filth you have just watched. I bet you will.
