Peter Cook by Harry Thompson
A biography of comedian and satirist Peter Cook, examining the seriousness behind the jokes, how he made a generation see the world differently and charting the emotional life of a genius who by the end had withdrawn from the world almost entirely.
Harry Thompson invented many TV comedy hits such as Have I Got News For You and Da Ali G Show. He was the author of several acclaimed bestsellers, including PETER COOK: A BIOGRAPHY and PENGUINS STOPPED PLAY, as well as a historical novel, THIS THING OF DARKNESS which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. He worked as a producer at Talkback TV and in his spare time he ran the infamous cricket team, the Captain Scott XI. Harry Thompson died in 2005.
