The Undiscovered Peter Cook

This documentary delves into the life of Peter Cook, hailed as Britain’s most exceptional satirist, offering a rare glimpse into his personal archives, including recordings, diaries, letters, and photographs. After Cook’s passing, his widow, Lin, barred the media from entering their home. However, this year, she opened the doors to her friend Victor Lewis-Smith and a BBC team to create a film about the man she cherished and understood.
