Monty Python's Flying Circus - Light entertainment war (1)

[SecretTimeWarp]

I just learned something about England from "Up Your Pavement".... they have Kentucky Fried Chicken over there. Huh.

[zionravescene]

Arguably the last great episode of the Flying Circus.

[atwarwithdust]

anyone know what the song at the very beginning is (as the hobos are happily walking alone), or how to find it?

[BMC350FG]

@atwarwithdust Sounds similar to the theme from Steptoe and Son

[SecretTimeWarp]

@atwarwithdust It's "When Does A Dream Begin" (which Neil sings later in the episode) done in "Steptoe and Son" style.

"Gentleman, it's now quite apparent that the enemy are not only fighting this war on the cheap, but they're also not taking it seriously." xD

I love this episode. Miss John Cleese, though.

Koning is played by Douglas Adams, according to the Internet movie database. Apparently, he often worked with the Pythons.

He was also one of Chapman's closes friends.

One of my favourites when it comes to Python. They were best when they were playing with language.
