    Considering Peter Sellers was a notorious giggler when acting and that Dudley Moore is struggling all through this to not burst into laughter how the hell did they get through this????Loved this!!!! 3 great legends!!

    It's very rare these days to find such passion and chemistry amongst comedians. To watch these 3 gods of comedy pulling out all the stops to make each other laugh is simply television gold. Thanks for finding it.

    I love it when the comedians find it funny too. The old American comedian Red Skelton used to crack himself up too. He would say, " I know what's coming, you see". He would also say, if the joke was a bit obscure or didn't get a laugh..."I just tell 'em, I don't explain 'em !"

      Durins Bane You‘re a bit of a genius yourself - ever tried coaching? I‘m sure there are waves of impressionistic youths out there looking for a chance to take on some of the heavyweights - Gogh, Picasso and da Vinci - who could benefit from your technique-coloured background and are dyeing to show the punters what they can dhue.

    Priceless indeed. By 2 minutes Sellers is already on the ragged edge of his improv. By 4 minutes Moore is "corpsing". And clean through to the end Cook is doing everything he possibly can to...well, not to yield. They must've needed a very long break afterwards...

    • @PetroicaRodinogaster264
      @PetroicaRodinogaster264 3 года назад

      I think so too...Sellers didn't do that often, he was very controlled, normally. But I think there was an audience and also it was probably a lot of ad lib so the funny bits might catch him unawares before he could steel himself not to laugh. I once performed in a very funny comedy and the only way I could keep a straight face was to bend one of my fingers back ( without being seen of course) so that it hurt, and the pain centre was stronger than the laughing centre of my brain.

      Pete 'n Dud's two geezers in the pub routine was influenced by Milligan and Sellers' work with "The Goons" and Sellers' solo LP's, "Songs for Swinging Sellers" and the EP with "Balham: Gateway to the South." This sketch was reworked with female movie stars clamouring at the bedroom window to get in in the middle of the night, and Pete 'no Dud sending them away imperiously!

    Having seen the John Lennon bits with Cook & Moore previously, and now watching this, I'm suddenly struck by how much Sellers looks like Lennon. (And they both had hit records with "She Loves You"!)
    It may just be the nose, though -- I'm quite fond of Renaissance noses myself...

William Klein photographs are probably the most non punk, punk thing I have ever seen in my life. Obviously Peter Cook, Peter Sellers and Dud Moore were aware of the latest avangarde coming from Japan. A true masterpice!
