Beskrivning

One Leg Too Few will feature an extensive range of fresh interviews, previously unpublished archive material and a wealth of information about the most creative (and explosive) double act that British comedy has ever produced.One Leg Too Few is a book about an extraordinary relationship: a friendship, a partnership - almost, at times, a marriage. Like a lot of marriages it ended badly, but for nearly 20 years, between the first date and the inevitable divorce, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were the funniest thing on three continents.One Leg Too Few is the story of that relationship, and the comedy that came from it.

William Cook charts the progress of their unlikely marriage very perceptively" Daily Mail "This is the definitive biography of the double act; not only informative but also vastly entertaining." Sunday Express "Sympathetic yet sharp-eyed, he gives a vivid, poignant sense of the forces that held them together and which, ultimately, tore them apart." Mail on Sunday "Funny, sad and always entertaining" The Independent
