Peter Cook (and co.) pops up in a piece in the Radio Times issue for 7-13 January 2023! The write-up gives details on radio and broadcast legend Annie Nightingale's recent Archive on 4 radio program, Annie Nightingale's Age of Irreverence.

Archive on 4 says that in Nightingale's broadcast, "we hear how a core group of British musicians and satirists influenced each other, sharing a similar view of the world and a fearless desire to disrupt and lampoon the political and social norms in which they'd been brought up." Name-checks include The Goon Show, The Beatles, Monty Python, and lots more...

...like Beyond The Fringe (and co.)! In the Radio Times article, titled "Twist and Flout" (nice), Nightingale talks about her there-in-person memories of key moments in '60s irreverence, recalling of Beyond The Fringe:

"'People in the theatre got up, you could hear their seats banging as they left in disgust. I thought it was brilliant!' Later on, she lunched with Cook and Dudley Moore in Hampstead. 'They changed everything. Comedy helped create the pop culture.'"

A very good read!

And a hat-tip to a post highlighting this article, by @beatlessideblog! Wouldn't have caught this piece otherwise if I hadn't stumbled upon the post - thank you! :)

A professor at Purdue University stormed out of a Beyond the Fringe performance shouting that "he would not hear the Star-Spangled Banner mocked."
