Peter Cook crashes Dudley Moore's party and chaos ensues — British comedy royalty at peak mischief.
Outstanding comedian and musician Dudley Moore regales his spellbound audience in typical fashion with his hilarious edition of the long-running An Audience With series. Backed by a full orchestra - and interrupted by both Peter Cook and the Dagenham Girl Pipers - Dudley entertains his audience of celebrities (including Stanley Baxter, Martin Shaw, Clive James, Lulu and Rolf Harris) and duets with singer-songwriter Christopher Cross on the award-winning 'Arthur's Theme'.
