* {{Corpsing}} - Pete was expert at making Dud crack up mid-act.
-->'''Pete''': ''(as Dudley uses a sandwich to hide his mouth)'' You enjoying that sandwich, there, are you?
** Dud had an even harder time when they were joined by Creator/PeterSellers, with Cook and Sellers bouncing off each other.

It had its origins in a solo vehicle for Dudley Moore to be called 'Not Only Dudley Moore But Also his guests'. Among the guests for the pilot was Peter Cook, Dudley Moore's old colleague from ''Theatre/BeyondTheFringe'' whose contribution was a duologue with two characters called Pete & Dud discussing imaginary romantic encounters with film stars. The sketch was judged so funny that a full series was proposed with Peter Cook to be in every one (in the event, three full series were made). The most fondly remembered parts of the shows were the 'Dagenham Dialogues' - [[TheDanza which featured two characters called 'Pete and Dud']] dressed in cloth caps and discussing in minute (and largely inaccurate) detail such subjects as art, sex and animals. Other fondly remembered sketches include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV_A7YeOhfs The Leaping Nuns]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDtkmOdYdKY Bo Dudley]] and the Creator/GerryAnderson parody [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riMHp28_cqw Superthunderstingcar]]; most of the sketches would make it onto any British Viewers' personal list of funniest television moments.

* TheGarfunkel - Interestingly, both Cook and Moore were considered TheGarfunkel at various points; as the show was originally a vehicle for Dudley Moore, many of the earlier reviews concentrated on him. As Peter's greater creative role became apparent; some people considered that Dudley Moore was the irrelevant one. In fact, this trope was totally averted; while Peter Cook did the lions share of the writing, Dudley's greater acting skills and rapport with the audience was totally necessary for the partnership to work.

Sadly, much of the series was [[MissingEpisode lost]] when the BBC wiped the tapes, though Cook and Moore went through a lot of effort to attempt to keep them from being so, even offering to buy the BBC new tapes to replace the old ones. The offer was inexplicably refused.

* TheCastShowoff - Most of the episodes featured Dudley Moore playing a straight jazz piece with his trio.

''Not Only... But Also'' is a SketchShow written by and starring Peter Cook and Creator/DudleyMoore which ran throughout the 1960s.

* TheTalk - Played for laughs as neither the son nor the father appear to know about the facts of life. Leads to an {{unusual euphemism}} 'Your mother is upstairs at the moment ''coping'' with Uncle Bertie.'

* SorryBillyButYouJustDontHaveLegs - The sketch with a one-legged man wanting to play Tarzan is probably the single most famous and cited example of this trope in British popular culture, to the point where this one sketch is known to many people who have never heard of ''Not Only But Also'' itself.

* ThrowItIn - Common from Peter Cook, a skilled improviser, especially during the Dagenham Dialogues where he would do his best to get Dudley to [[{{Corpsing}} crack up]] with ad libs.
