Re: [ARSCLIST] laserdisc (Peter Cooke & Dudley Moore)

[Matthew Barton <mbarton@xxxxxxx>]

Actually, there was a VHS compilation entitled "The Best of, What's Left of, Not Only But Also." A DVD is available of this, but I can't vouch for it's legitimacy. The compilation seems to have clips from two seasons, one in B&W, the other in color. Included are some of the "Pete and Dud" bits, as well as their hysterical send up of the "Thunderbirds" series. Worth looking for.
