Peter Cook - at a Slight Angle to the Universe

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Comic genius or unreliable alcoholic - what is the enduring legacy of Peter Cook ? His comedic talent shone in the Cambridge Footlights and he was a key figure of the 60s satire boom as part of Beyond the Fringe, and he is known by many for his routines with Dudley Moore - a partnership that eventually dissolved amid rancour. Providing an illuminating insight into Cook's complex personality and ultimately tragic life, this documentary features contributions from friends and contemporaries including Eric Idle , Ian Hislop , Michael Parkinson , Mel Smith , John Fortune and Dick Clement.
Producer Lucy Kenwright ; Executive producer Caroline Wright
