Peter Cook and Dudley Moore
are commonly regarded as the greatest comic double act that Britain has
ever produced. However, it is less commonly known that in 1971, at the
height of their careers, they spent eleven months in Australia touring
their latest stage show, Behind the Fridge and writing and starring in
two TV specials (of the same name) never seen in Britain at the time.
Pete and Dud: The Lost Tapes is a one-hour compilation of best from
these two Behind the Fridge specials. Both shows were recorded in
Melbourne, in early November 1971 and broadcast later that month on
Australia’s number one network, Channel Nine. But the shows were never
broadcast in the UK and spent the next 34 years in Channel Nine’s
Melbourne archive. Pete and Dud: The Lost Tapes captures Cook and Moore
at their very best, providing us with another opportunity to witness
their unique and dynamic chemistry at time when their partnership was at
its strongest.
