Peter Cook and Dudley Moore first met in 1959 as co-authors and performers in Beyond the Fringe. Since then they worked together frequently for television, films, radio, disc and on the stage.

To celebrate their 20th anniversary they met one evening in London to have a few drinks and improvise a record (Derek and Clive Ad Nauseam). This is what happened.
