John filming ‘Not Only But Also' with Dudley Moore and Norman Rossington - November 1964

[1863-project]

I’m reading Jem Roberts’s new authorized biography of Fry and Laurie as a double act (appropriately titled Soupy Twists!) and it already murdered me with the inevitable reference to Peter and Dudley doing The Thing so there you go.

This Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketch is relevant again on this website so here you go. Relevant part lovingly transcribed by me.

P: ‘Ave you been down the Rubens?

D: No.

P: You ‘aven’t seen the Rubens?

D: No.

P: There’s one over there.

D: Is there?

P: Yes. Lovely. ‘E does all the fat ladies with nothing on. Great big fat ladies except for a tiny little wisp of gauze always lands on the appropriate place, if you know me, Dud.

D: Yeah.

P: Always the wind blows a little bit of gauze over you know where.

D: Yeah.

P: Y’can see it down there, can’t you.

D: Of course, y’know, it must be a million to one chance, Pete, that the gauze, y’know, lands in the right place at the right time.

P: Of course it is, yeah.

D: …when ‘e’s painting. I bet there’s thousands of paintings that we’re not allowed to see where the, where the gauze ‘adn’t landed in the right place, y’know, it’s on their nose or something.

P: Well, I suppose if the gauze landed on the wrong place, Dud, y’know, landed on the nose or the elbow or somewhere unimportant, what Rubens did was put down ‘is painting and went off and ‘ad lunch, probably.

D: Yeah. Or ‘ave a good look.

P: Of course you don’t get gauze flying around in the air these days, not like they did in Renaissance times.

D: No, no.

P: There was always gauze in the air in those days.

D: Yeah.

Of course, the entire thing is an absolute delight and I highly recommend watching all of it, so go do that.
