DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET - The Intro And The Outro

[McGoonagle]

@TheBigraz69 The joke isn't racist. The first name is "I. Smith of Salisbury, Rhodesia." Smith had a white minority government, so the joke was actually a dig at him.

such a great show and band too, my dad calls these the bozos , they don't make them like this anymore this is soo pre python but just as brilliant, I think. Not a kids show at all

[aaronhoffmeyer]

And looking very relaxed, Adolph Hitler on vibes ...

Cut for TV. Damn.

[robbo3166]

@aaronhoffmeyer Not just for TV, it's not even on the radio version. That line is followed by "Princess Anne, on sousaphone", I think this is why it was cut.

[MrBoomshanka37]

how humiliating for Terry Jones, that toast was so out of tune.

[smeesquatch]

"Come in Terry Jones on toast!"

I nearly died laughing at that point. Why do they not make shows like this anymore?!

[lennonsdoll]

david jason looks soooo intense.

[dharmaseed]

Rodney 'Ruskin'-Slater on sax...LOL

[cogidubnus1953]

Wonderful!

[iconicshrubbery]

i was brought up on this programme-now,no-one can bring me down....

[redderz1]

...come in Terry Jones on toast.......epic

[mburs004]

how can even 1 person not like terry jones playing the toast.

[alonzogarbanzo]

This is a junction of some of my favorite people who ever lived. Wow. I do miss Vernon and the others, but I'll take what we get here. RIP Viv.

[Hemulen40]

Kooool jazz kats .

[Gjeorje]

Of course these days that toast would be autotuned all over the place and the garden rake would be a digital sample.

[TheBigraz69]

So there's a racist gag at the end. These were pre-PC days when the concept of racism didn't exist. If you were observant enough you'd have also noticed the reference to a price (17s,11p...about 80 pence post decimal money). The latter came in in 1971, so this clip pre-dates that.

@TheBigraz69

17/11(d).

There was something later on in the episode about some fictional deodorant or cream that cost that- so there was some repetition of that price from time to time. All well beyond the pocket of most of the kids watching the show, I imagine.

[PublicSafetyService]

anyone notice the racist gag at the end?

[anonUK]

@PublicSafetyService

You mean the fake African names of the father and son in Notting Hill Gate?

Well, a bit off, but compared to a lot of the stuff that got past the filter back then, who cares?

[alifor9]

Viv, Pre-Tubular bells.

Eric Idle, pre-One Foot In The Grave

David Jason pre-Frost, more pre-Trotter Independent Traders and even more pre-Open All Hours.

[dharmaseed]

Did he call Rodney 'Rodney Ruskin-Slater'?

Denise, that;s de-nice!

[cottageorgan]

Can you believe this programme was made for kids T.V. Look at the drek are wee ones are served up today, all flashing colours and silliness. This proper, serious and educational childrens T.V. Take it away Viv.

[BostonRocker51]

Brilliant and much too short a video. I saw Bonzo Dog at The Tea Party in Boston in 1968 (???). They were totally daffy and musically amazing. Real talent

[jessieintheskywith]

Bonzos and Python. Beautiful combination. Viv<3

[orochikun221]

Work that alto-sax, Roger! 

[minutegongcoughs]

Thanks for uploading

[MikeCLasVegas]

Always loved Vivian Stanshall. Great to see the Python guys.

[TheCatastrophicSmile]

Neil Innes is so freakin' cool.

[Stratman78]

Nobody can play the garden rake like Michael Palin, the spoons like David Jason, the tuba like Denise Coffey, the temple bells like Eric Idle, or especially eat toast like Terry Jones.
