Taking Sides : Bedazzled Liz Hurley vs Bedazzled Peter Cook/Dudley Moore

Just saw the liz version this xmas, not as bad as I thought and more budget than the cook/moore one. But not as funny/insightful etcet.

Although I'm not expecting this to be a close thing, but on balance i'd give 25% to Hurley and 75% to CookMoore.

'bout you?

Damn wrong board. First time for me...

You're kidding, right? I suppose the one thing Peter Cook and Liz Hurley have in common is that neither of them can/could act.

Although one difference is that I have never seen Liz Hurley wandering down Hampstead High Street in her dressing gown and slippers.

You might have if you lived in Basingstoke...

Nor do I think that Liz Hurley has ever rung up LBC's late night show pretending to be a lonely Norwegian fisherman. She might be that fake Irish caller, though.

haven't seen either, but the theme to the cook/moore version is pretty cool.

Bedazzled Cook/Moore is wins 95/5. Liz Hurley is very sugar and spice and everything nice, but the OG Bedazzled is vastly superior.

".... one difference is that I have never seen Liz Hurley wandering down Hampstead High Street in her dressing gown and slippers."

Another difference is that (afaik) Peter Cook never went out with a punk from Basingstoke called Spider.

And even if he did, he certainly didn't used to frequently go and see bands at The Lyceum on Sunday nights around '80 / '81 / '82 then catch the same train home as I did afterwards.

And even if he did, he definitely didn't used to regularly get completely shit-faced and slump drunkenly on the seat opposite me wearing such an unfeasibly short skirt that I had to stare fixedly out of the window most of the way back to try to avoid the temptation of staring at his knickers.

Which is probably just as well, 'cos Peter Cook's knickers are not now - nor have they at any time been - of the slightest interest to me.

So, did you ogle Peter Cook's underwear or not?

― Hmmm, Friday, 9 January 2004 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Whatt? And risk having Spider and all the Basingstoke punk crew kicking my head in?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

You can see Liz Hurley's boobies in 'Rowing With The Wind'.

― Hmmm, Friday, 9 January 2004 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe so: but you won't let Spider catch you checking 'em out if you know what's good for you!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Does he watch "Rowing with the wind" nowadays and think "ah once they were mine...."

Anyone remember Alan A'Dale?

― roxymuzak, Friday, 9 January 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

He was one of Robin Hood's merry men, so?

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"Does he watch "Rowing with the wind" nowadays and think "ah once they were mine....""

I prefer to imagine that he just reads in the tabloids about her dealings with Steve Bing and thinks "Phew! That was close!".

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

She'd have taken the poor bastard for his last can of Tenants Extra if she'd had the chance.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Alan A'Dale is the sketch that caused Dudley Moore's eyebrows to be posthumously nominated for an Oscar.

I watched the remake on Saturday. Brendan Fraser is a treat as ever, but Liz Hurley is absolutely awful. The woman cannot act. Hey ho.

"Oh my god I'm a Colombian drug lord!" made me laff tho.

The original is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I'm not sure there's anything in it that made me laugh nearly as hard as the World's Most Sensitive Man. I seriously can't believe that character hasn't been turned into an internet meme yet.
