Closing out my Beyond the Fringe favorite bits series with my favorite bits from their satire on Shakespeare, a wonderful sketch called “So That’s the Way You Like It”

Paul Hamilton reflecting on some exquisite moments during the “A Poke in the Eye with a Sharp Stick”/“Pleasure at Her Majesty’s” show (as documented in the film and behind-the-scenes footage). It’s lovely to hear about Peter’s enjoyment of Jonathan Miller’s performance. It is certainly true that the world would have been vastly enriched by Jonathan Miller having more chances to be funny onstage! Also, I would love to be described as “a barking uninhibited asterisk of explosive energy”… just once!
I would heartily recommend “How Very Interesting: Peter Cook’s Universe and All that Surrounds It” for great interviews, reminiscences, and analysis like this!

Eric Idle playing around during rehearsals for the English National Opera’s 1987 production of The Mikado. Seeing Jonathan Miller literally ROFLing fills me with such joy 🤣😂🤣

Peter Cook (and co.) pops up in a piece in the Radio Times issue for 7-13 January 2023! The write-up gives details on radio and broadcast legend Annie Nightingale's recent Archive on 4 radio program, Annie Nightingale's Age of Irreverence.
Archive on 4 says that in Nightingale's broadcast, "we hear how a core group of British musicians and satirists influenced each other, sharing a similar view of the world and a fearless desire to disrupt and lampoon the political and social norms in which they'd been brought up." Name-checks include The Goon Show, The Beatles, Monty Python, and lots more...
...like Beyond The Fringe (and co.)! In the Radio Times article, titled "Twist and Flout" (nice), Nightingale talks about her there-in-person memories of key moments in '60s irreverence, recalling of Beyond The Fringe:
"'People in the theatre got up, you could hear their seats banging as they left in disgust. I thought it was brilliant!' Later on, she lunched with Cook and Dudley Moore in Hampstead. 'They changed everything. Comedy helped create the pop culture.'"
A very good read!
And a hat-tip to a post highlighting this article, by @beatlessideblog! Wouldn't have caught this piece otherwise if I hadn't stumbled upon the post - thank you! :)

The way Peter Cook looks at Dudley Moore
He's trying to pin him in place like a butterfly or something.

In the art gallery sketch it's relentless. Once or twice Peter looks away to save Dudley from corpsing, but much of the time he's daring Dud to keep going. What a double act.
It worked both ways though...
"I’m happy to say that, after fourteen years of working with him, Dudley still makes me laugh a great deal. During the two hours of the show I’m constantly on the verge of hysteria."
Peter Cook - "How I see Dudley Moore", Esquire, 1 August 1974.
