Fine performances all round, especially Rhys Ifans, who actually seemed to get more like Peter Cook the older the character became. The writing was superb and highlighted Cook's and Moore's extremely volatile relationship both on and off the stage. Having the duo's best character creation 'Pete and Dud' narrate the action was a stroke of genius, one scene in particular moved me, and that was when Moore told Cook he no longer wanted to work with him..it then cut straight to 'narrator Pete' alone in the room calling for Dud and looking around dejected.
One of those films that you wish wasn't on Channel 4 with commercial breaks, it seems to disrupt the flow.
