Synopsis

Cooked is a bold, irreverent, and poignant miniseries exploring the dazzling and tumultuous life of British comedy icon Peter Cook. A visionary satirist and master of wit, Cook forever altered the landscape of British humor in the '60s and '70s with his boundary-pushing sketches, his creation of Beyond the Fringe, and his tumultuous partnership with Dudley Moore. But beyond the accolades, Cooked also reveals the deeply human side of the man behind the laughs: his struggles with fame, his unraveling friendships, and his demons that often clashed with his comedic genius. The series dives into Peter's rise from a young, gifted writer in post-war London, to his breakthrough success, and his later battles with addiction, depression, and crippling self-doubt. Through flashbacks, we explore the deep-seated connection between Peter and Dudley Moore—two men whose creative genius sparked timeless sketches but whose personal rifts threatened to tear them apart. We also delve into Peter's strained relationships with the media, his lovers, and his fellow comedians, showing a man who craved connection but often pushed it away.
