Does anyone remember a sketch about giant blamonges coming down from space and taking over the planet? There was a bit where they were playing tennis at Wimbledon! No one else seems to remember it but I can definitely picture it in my head!!
Of course - and I see someone has found it.
My favourites ... so hard to choose. Air Force banter (the one where the banter is so obscure they can't understand each other). Most Awful Family in Britain. The one about the young man buying strange pets, and his mum is particularly cross about the whale, which dies, and his father has to use as a garage ... which makes the Hillman smell all fishy. I think they're all from the final series, after John Cleese left - I love that final series; Python really took off, and became very weird indeed.
It was so heartbreaking when Python ended, but then we had the joy of Ripping Yarns. Tomkinson's Schooldays ... pure genius. Building the "full scale model" of an icebreaker in woodwork class; the cross-country hopping; the punishment of beating the headmaster - honestly, if you haven't seen Tompkinson's Schooldays, you haven't lived. Trust me.
And then there was Rutland Weekend Television, which was glorious.
