Doesn't this guy ever shut up?

This is going to be other stuff depending on my mood, my favorite records and songs, TV shows, people I like or dislike, whatever.  And stuff that I've thought of for no reason.

For instance, remember the sitcom that starred Peter Cook playing a butler?  On one  episode there was a running  joke  where he was attempting to console his employer and her daughter  by saying "remember the words of your compatriot Frankie Valli"  by which he meant "Big Girls Don't Cry" But each time he would be answered with a puzzled look and a guess at what he meant. "Walk Like A Man?" was the mother's guess. "Sherry, Sherry Baby?" was the daughter's.  Eventually, he gave up and, in a wonderfully exasperated voice asked "Am I the only one here who listens to Wolfman Jack?"
I know that doesn't sound too funny but he was great in it.
Peter Cook was always hilarious, in my opinion much funnier than his colleague Dudley Moore. Not that there was anything wrong with Dudley. He was great when they were together, and I loved Arthur. Too bad about all other movies he was in afterwards.

Here's a link to a page for information about British comedy. It's mostly television so there's not much on Peter Cook but if you follow the links I'm sure you'll find something.
Plus they have great stuff on BlackAdder, one  of the funniest programs ever, at this site.
