Cook and Moore are most remembered for their sketches as two working-class men, Pete and Dud, in macs and cloth caps, commenting on politics and the arts, but they fashioned a series of one-off characters, usually with Moore in the role of interviewer to one of Cook's upper-class eccentrics.

Moore was famous for " corpsing " — the programmes often went on live, and Cook would deliberately make him laugh in order to get an even bigger reaction from the studio audience.

Moore and Cook co-starred in the film Bedazzled ( 1967 ) with Eleanor Bron, and also had tours called Behind the Fridge and Good Evening.

In later years, Cook would wind up Moore by claiming he preferred Arthur 2: On the Rocks to Arthur.
