Peter Cook

English satirist. Peter Cook was one of the leading lights in British comedy during the 1960s, and, in partnership with [Dudley Moore]?, created some of the funniest television in the series [Not Only, But Also]?, and scored a notable success in the 1970s with the extremely rude [Derek and Clive]? recordings.

Peter Cook was also the proprietor of the satirical magazine, [Private Eye]?, and financed the publication through a number of difficult periods, particularly when the magazine was punished financially in the wake of a number of libel trials.
