| Peter Cook and Dudley Moore |
Lin Cook, the widow of Peter Cook, has recently been busy, providing Keith Allen and Victor Lewis-Smith with hitherto unpublished personal pictures and documents from the satirist's archive, to help with the re-launch of The Establishment, Peter's legendary 60s club which "pops up" on 19th and 20th September at Ronnie Scott's, prior to launching in its own premises in 2013.
The material is kept in a secure facility, far away from Lin's house in North London, and hadn't been looked at for some time. As the door of the safe creaked open, out popped hundreds of old cassettes and videotapes, many in now-defunct formats, most untitled, and some clearly damaged beyond repair. However, most are still playable, and many months of viewing and listening lie ahead, to discover what they contain.
