Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are still considered to be one of Britain's most outstanding comedy double acts. But despite their popularity, much of their television material was deleted back in the 1970s. This documentary showcases a number of new clips which have recently come to light from sketches which were thought to have been lost forever, some not seen for over 50 years, plus rare footage of routines performed in Australia when Cook and Moore made two episodes of their show, Not Only... But Also..., for the country back in 1971.

Screenplay
"Killing Bono" é uma homenagem aos inúmeros fracassos do rock'n'roll, contando a história verídica de dois irmãos que começaram como amigos e rivais do U2 mas acabaram na lata de lixo da história musical. O filme é baseado no livro de memórias de Neil McCormick, com o mesmo título, mas os seus criadores tomaram liberdades consideráveis com o livro original. Diferentemente do que mostra o filme, por exemplo, McCormick nunca chegou a apontar uma arma para o seu amigo de escola e também inimigo Bono, embora boa parte de sua juventude tenha sido consumida com uma obsessão pouco saudável com o sucesso estrondoso do U2 e seu próprio fracasso como cantor.
Self
A documentary about the legendary and influential comedian, actor and writer, who went out from the BBC to conquer Hollywood, but sadly the system quickly withdrew its support when they couldn't contain his talents. This portrait is spiked with many comments from people who knew Feldman privately or had dealt with him professionally. His early death sadly rendered him all but forgotten by the public. The compilation consists of interviews, some film clips and photos as well as various audio clips from him.

Screenplay
A música dos Beatles e a Guerra do Vietnã formam o pano de fundo para o romance entre Lucy, uma garota americana da alta classe, e Jude, um pobre artista de Liverpool. É uma história de amor ambientada na década de 1960, em meio aos turbulentos anos de protesto contra a guerra, à luta pela liberdade de expressão e aos direitos civis, à exploração da mente e ao rock and roll enfim, os movimentos da contracultura daquela época. Ao mesmo tempo corajosa, extravagante e altamente teatral, a história vai das escolas secundárias e universidades de Massachusetts, Princeton e Ohio para o Lower East Side de Manhattan, os motins de Detroit, o Vietnã e os estaleiros de Liverpool. Uma combinação de ação ao vivo e animação, o filme está sonorizado com muitas músicas dos Beatles que definiram aquele tempo.

With the destruction of their previous neighbourhood has inevitably come the destruction of the lads’ favoured watering hole The Fat Ox. Again, it’s Bob rather than Terry who is visibly distressed by this. Upset and much the worse for free alcohol, Bob then storms into the library to seek sympathy from Thelma - who is, predictably, unimpressed. So when Thelma finds out that Terry has been getting semi-serious with glamorous Finnish shop assistant Chris, she takes it upon herself to try and pair them off for good via planning first a dinner party and then that mainstay of 70s comedy, a camping expedition. Of course, things don’t go quite according to plan and before you can say ‘I can see the way this is going’ we are set up for japes, larks and embarrassing incidents aplenty, which culminate in the lads getting rather fed up with their partners’ attempts to inflict the rugged outdoor lifestyle upon them and trying to hitch up and drive off with the girls still asleep in the caravan.
