A Tribute to Pete and Dud

2 years ago
126

A pastiche of the Pete and Dud's "Bloody Greta Garbo" sketch from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's show "Now Only...But Also" (1964-1970). In this sketch, Baker is the Pete doppelgänger, and Lester is the Dud doppelgänger. The Pete and Dud sketches are known for at least one of the two (usually Dud) breaking character by laughing, and are sometimes followed by improvised lines (e.g., Pete's line "Are you enjoying that sandwich?" from the "Art Gallery" sketch). Brilliant comedy.

The "Little Pucker" is a personification (machine-ation? machination?) of Puck from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
