Synopsis
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore put on the guises of Derek and Clive one final time in Derek and Clive Get the Horn. The film mostly records the two feuding stars as they are in the studio recording their record. It consists of a number of brilliant comic sketches as well as a wealth of footage of Pete and Dud verbally abusing each other, mostly while drunk. Famously banned by the British Board of Film Censors upon its completion, this film is not only an excellent documentation of one of the funniest comic duos of the 20th century, but is also a fascinating portrait of the excesses and tension between two creative minds who have come to an impasse.

Customer Reviews

*THE* Worst DVD, ever!!!
I was not offended by the language, subject matter or vulgarity. Yeah it was full on but so what? What I was appalled by the poor video and audio quality and above all the sleep inducing 'comic' meanderings of two supposedly funny and clever men.

This is utterly self-indulgent, passe and simply not funny. Dull! Dull! Dull!

Pete and Dud at their best
Having listened to these two for over 30 years it's so good to see the guy's working. If you are familiar with their work this DVD might leave you slightly disappointed as they leave out some content, which I personally find hilarious, however, it is worth every penny to see the comic genius of two very funny men who are sadly missed.

Brilliant
Look... this isn't for everyone. It's Peter Cook and Dudley Moore going back for one last excursion into the world of "Derek and Clive." For the uninitiated, Pete and Dud hit on an unsurpassed comic concept of wallowing in vulgarity and absurdity which knew no bounds. Fortuntately, Cook was a brilliant comic who was at his best at improvisation. Moore could not have been a better "foil" and was able to keep up with Cook's ideas and helped taking them all the way to their - sometimes very clever or dreadful - end.

This is the only filmed document (that I'm aware) of their collaboration on this particular comic endeavor - and its priceless. There's been a lot of talk about how they were at odds at this time, and the humour (and their relationship) was strained. Well, I've watched this countless times, and can't help finding the material and chemistry absolutely magic.

They did reunite for the release of this video (which had only been available for years as a bootleg). So all the noise about them disagreeing on the final product is up for debate.

What's not debatable (OK - for some folks it might be) is this is great fun and highly recommeded to anyone who appreciates extremely ribald, imaginitive comedy.

Oh, and some of the compalints about the 16mm film stock and poor lighting, etc... Please. This isn't a George Lucas epic. Its two well-matched, talented comics having some fun in a studio somewhere in London.

Its really quite sad they've both passed.
