Cook played Brentwood, the butler of Nan Gallagher, played by Mimi Kennedy. He only agreed to do the one season, having been 'tricked' into signing the contract, not realizing a season, 'series' in the UK, was many more episodes than he expected.
The show featured a cameo by Mick Jagger, dropping by to pick up some of Brentwood's famous chutney, thrilling Nan's daughter, played by Dana Hill.
It was one of the best sitcoms of the 80s, IMHO.
