SeventiesMania gives the correct year; this is from Thursday 27th May 1976, presumably caught on a recording of one of the unexpected BBC1 8.30 pm repeats of the last Monty Python series.

The Callaghan govt won that vote on shipbuilding nationalisation by a majority of one, and such was the response the Commons had to be suspended - one of many reasons why it would have been so much better for British socialism, or at least for social democracy, had Labour not "won" in 1974.
