BBC Four - The Undiscovered Peter Cook

Film about satirist Peter Cook, with private recordings, diaries, letters and photographs.

Documentary about one of Britain's greatest satirists, Peter Cook, with unprecedented access to his private recordings, diaries, letters, photographs and much more.

Following the death of one of Britain's greatest satirists, Peter Cook, in 1995, his widow Lin locked the door of his house and refused all access to the media - until more than twenty years later, when she invited her friend Victor Lewis-Smith and a BBC crew inside to make a documentary about the man she knew and loved, with unprecedented access to Peter's private recordings, diaries, letters, photographs and much more.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
