He brings a prospective girlfriend home without even bothering to discuss it with his daughters first (daughters who traumatically lost their mother three years previously). He then goes on to buy a shop, not thinking to take his daughters to see it first, or to even ask their opinion on a matter that has everything to do with them and will probably affect them the most.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were perhaps the first double act to go against the grain as turned their double act into a complex analysis of their relationship. In many of the sketches (especially the Pete and Dud exchanges) Cook played the domineering know-it-all (who knows nothing) and Moore the put-upon dimwit (who also knows nothing).
