John told Idle "Get Up and Go" was too close to "Get Back" and Dick James would probably sue them if it was on the album (so they left it off).

There was always Rutland Weekend Television,

Radio 5 is also good and at least sometimes funny; shows Idle dedicating the same sort of attention to detail another medium as he did to the extremely dense & visual Python books.

Actually the only thing I remember disagreeing with in dm's long post with Idle bringing along Innes as a negative.

I've always wondered what happened to his chin between Python and Fawlty Towers, let alone old age

I often do the real version of that: mi bed was a bit of foam on't floor for 3 years in a mice infested slum in a box room wi' brother and sister and we had black mould on toast for breakfast...

Cleese posted that "Four Yorkshiremen" video to honor the passing of Barry Cryer, who plays the waiter.

easier to acknowledge a passing waiter than to get one to acknowledge you nest pas

Who else remembers first seeing Monty Python on
The Dean Martin Comedy World?

Maybe I should start a summer replacement show thread.

how old do you think we all are

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Friday, 3 May 2024 22:27 (four days ago) link

I'm intrigued by this "comedy acts from around the world" premise of the Dean Martin show you mention - any idea if any non anglo acts were featured?

Heh, no idea. Maybe. Hard to remember after all those years later. Maybe some kind of European and Japanese commercials?
