Listening to one former colleague trailing his programme on Radio 3 and seeing on LinkedIn that another is a senior editor at the New York Times and wondering where it all went wrong.
Happy Friday.

Peter Cook's contributions to the LP were fitted in between filming of Paul Morrissey's disastrous Hound of the Baskervilles. The Denholm Elliot character in that film has the same name as one of the protagonists of Consequences: Mr Stapleton.

The album interleaves songs with a play about the end of the world caused by global conflict in which weather is a weapon. In some ways quite ahead of its time. Peter Cook plays all the male parts: a man seeking a divorce, his lawyer and the strange composer, Mr Blint, who lives in the attic.

It’s my eldest son’s birthday. Which means it’s also Peter Cook’s birthday. A good time to explore his ill-fated 1977 triple album with Godley & Creme, throughout which the number 17 runs. www.suppertime.co.uk/blint/

Oh hello. We're in the same universe as the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy where Oolon Colluphid writes trashy best-seller nonfiction books. I was more a fan of 'Who Is This God Person Anyway?'
