I try.

Gimme a few minutes, I have another post to deal with...

 

[Quatermass]

Ah, I got it. Which sketch did Victor Lownes have cut from And Now For Something Completely Different?

 

[pip]

That would be the one with Ken Shabby played by Michael Palin.
Mr Lownes , head of playboy thought the character too disgusting.
Thats standards for you.

I was watching John Boorman's 'Excalibur' recently and chuckling at the scene where Percival has to answer the disembodied voice's riddle. It's very much like the "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" bit in Holy Grail.

Excalibur was much, much, much funnier than Holy Grail. Only they didn't intend it to be.

Great performance form our own Gabriel Byrne

 

[TwoShotTino]

I think Excalibur is a great film, I really want to buy it on Blu-ray but I can only find it available in the US so not sure if it will be region compatible

 

[pip]

Definitely not released for this side of the pond on bluray sadly .

It actually follows Malory's Mort de Arthur fairly closely, but as that's a really weird book to begin with...

It was filmed in Ireland.

Still all better than the plot of the more recent arthur stuff such as Arthur and the last legion.
Still Python and Disneys sword in the stone are my two favourites

What about Merlin?

 

[meerkat]

Rather bland compared to Arthur of the Britons (before you were born).

I'm currently reading Bernard Cornwall's Arthur trilogy and it's good stuff, very plausible, evokes a fragmented Brittain of of warring kingdoms and opposing religions with encroaching barbarian invaders to boot.

I have to agree! I'm a big fan of these books.

Thought I'd use an existing thread to port this bit of news.

The gang are back together again to do voices for an animated film of Chapman's autobiography using an audio recording that he himself made before he died. Sounds really interesting, could be good.

[pip]

very cool

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Wonder when we will see it.

 

[Joolz]

Probably after Mr Cleese's next divorce

 

[Quatermass]

You are frigging kidding me.

I hope Eric Idle joins in. No one has exploited Python more for this own personal gain than him.
