Ok, I found some more photos from this sketch and I feel pretty comfortable saying it’s probably “The Psychiatrist” from the 1966 series of Not Only… But Also… It’s sad that these photos are the closest we’ll ever get to seeing this sketch. At least we can listen to it!

Here’s some interesting background on the topic they are satirizing in the sketch (from the blog Mind Hacks by vaughnbell)

It’s actually a parody of a technique in psychotherapy called “unconditional positive regard” in which the therapist accepts the person’s behaviour, experiences and emotions, good or bad, without judging the person’s core value as a human being.

This was originally developed by psychologist Carl Rogers as part of a humanistic or person-centred approach to psychotherapy.

It’s unsurprising that Peter would choose to write a sketch poking fun at psychotherapy, something which Dudley was heavily involved with and which Peter never put much stock in.

Peter and Dudley on the set of NOBA. No idea what sketch this set could be from and that makes it all the more frustrating (not least of all because Peter is an absolute FOX in this photo and I want more!)! Curse you, BBC, for destroying so much of this landmark show!

Look at these gorgeous boys! Peter and Dudley photographed here in 1971 at the start of their visit to Australia.

I wish they would re-title this video to say “Peter Cook and Dudley Moore Improvise as Pete & Dud” because that’s basically the first half of the video (until the 7:30-minute-mark). I love seeing them both delight in each other’s cleverness and humor. Do yourself a favor and watch this (for seven minutes and 30 seconds)!

Peter and Dudleys all the way down! (Two takes included cuz I couldn’t decide what to do with the recoloring)
