In terms of his comedy writing, Took's best work was written in collaboration with Marty Feldman, whom he first met in 1954. The two men wrote for several television shows in the 1950s and '60s, including "The Army Game" and its spin-off "Bootsie and Snudge". He co-wrote "Beyond Our Ken" for two series (1958–59) with Eric Merriman for BBC Radio before leaving after a disagreement with his fellow writer. With Marty Feldman he wrote most episodes of "Round the Horne"; the intermittent partnership between them continued until 1974.
