I may be wrong but I think this is older than at last the 1948 show and may have been written at Cambridge. I saw one version with Graeme Garden playing Cleese's role
JameyChaCha you're correct . . . this sketch is from the Secret Policeman's Other Ball . . . I should know because I saw it in the movie theaters when it first came out.
This isn't actually Monty Python. There's only two Pythons by my count, Cleese and Chapman. I believe this is from the Secret Policeman's Other Ball from the 80s.
"Pork" is always the answer -i get that... I don't get what's so funny about 'pork' but it sounds funny being blurted - in the 2nd round anyway. But the wrong answers to "capitals", now that's funny! LOL
i dont know which one he is but if you've ever seen the show bremner, bird and fortune, then you will see him a lot. he isnt rory bremner, so hes either bird or fortune
It's not Monty Python. It's Amnesty International Show with Cleese and Chapman in it. Others include Rowan Atkinson and Tim-Brook Taylor and i think Dudley Moore
This was originally performed on "At Last, the 1948 Show," a precursor to "Monty Python's Flying Circus" with Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor. And, yes, it's on DVD. ;)

Good luck!
Awesome sketch, thx for posting. Which Secret Policeman's Ball DVD does this come from, please? I know it's from 1979 but I can't find the actual video release.
We recently performed this in our drama class in high school. I got to be the Question Master. It was a lot of fun!

Three out of the four people from the "1948 show" version, right? Cleese, Chapman and Tim Brooke-Taylor. Only Marty Feldman is missing.
