Two great talents: Cook - a brilliantly, original comic mind, instrumental in launching the Sixties' satire boom and Moore - an exceptional musician, a winning performer, who achieved film stardom. Both flawed, their quality overshadowed by womanising or drink, and their lives ended sadly and too soon. The account, in evoking their achievements, is a reminder of how much sheer entertainment they provided. While the relationship of ‘Pete’ and ‘Dud’ was often difficult, the frustrations, it is clear, reflected an underlying love, making this ultimately a very moving account
