Peter Cook is held up by the comedy establishment
As virtual divinity. But he was manifestly the junior partner.
To Cook devotees I say only this: who would you rather in Monty Python? Cook, fucking everything up? Or Moore, playing the game?

I liked Peter Cook.
But without Dudley Moore I've not really found him funny. Interesting, yes, but not really funny. cf Spike and Secombe. (nah not really, Spike still made me laugh, but I think these straight men who are still funny focused the scattergun minds of the likes of Cook and Milligan)
edit: Ooh, happy candles!

He's quite funny
But I know whereof you speak. Without a corpsing Moore, he would struggle.

A Cook v Moore ruckus on my fucking B-day!
Bring it on Cook fans. Cook was an insecure wreck: Moore held all the real talent, as evinced by his subsequent career. He tried to help PC, but no.

Happy candles.
I've always found them both to be hugely overrated. Maybe if I'd been around to enjoy it contemporaneously I might have got what all the fuss is about. However, having said all that, the original film of Bedazzled is aces, Cook was just perfect in that, and hugely outshone Moore, but it was the better role.

Thanks J. Alf.
Whichever you favour, they are both extraordinary talents. Who have we now? Bring 'em on boys.

According to Hollywood
Russell Brand. "The remake was a critical and financial failure.". Not my words, Lynn, the words of wikipedia.

Great film.
And great point. Some of the most dated comedy is only so because every fucker copied it removing all of its novelty.
Obvs, sorry.

With your Python question,
Cook would be a second Graham Chapman
Moore would be second Michael Palin
I like both.

Palin's diaries are on Radio 4 at the moment
He tells of lying in bed in a hotel at midnight listening to Chapman walking down the hall shouting musically, 'I'M GOING TO BEEE-EEED! BUT I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE GOING ALOOO-OOONE'. What a champ.
