The dream supporting cast for this one-off special illustrated the high esteem in which Cook was held by his peers. Although critics at the time thought it patchy (a term perennially applied to sketch shows), it can now be viewed as a wonderful snapshot of Cook at the time, with the sketch spoofing Road Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected particularly memorable.Plus a full supporting programme of Cook TV appearances (total r/t c100min).
