Comedy spectacular marking Peter Cook's return to British television after an absence of two years. Back, too, are some of the unforgettable characters he created - like wistful E L. Wisty. And now they're joined by new ones - Eric Miller, Herb Natky, Lee Van Wrangter and Prof. Heinrick Globnick.

Keeping Cook company in a mindboggling medley of sketches, all written by himself, are Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Robert Longdon, Beryl Reid and Paula Wilcox.
