If I recall well, the episode you're talking about it's the 3rd of the first season: "How to Recognise Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away". In that episode, MPs often cut to pictures of a larch and a voice keep saying "number one: the larch" as the image come to the screen.
Have to wonder if sweeny todd was an influence on this sketch. The old penny dreadful story had been around for quite some time though it was made into a play in '73 and later the tony award winning musical in '79. There was more than one film made about the demon barber of fleet street though. I just wonder if it was quite literally a conscious influence here or if it was something subconscious in the British zeitgeist the pythons pulled in here.
In the very first episode of the first season, they cut to a slide of a larch tree a lot, and occasionally a horse-chestnut. The skit with Eric Idle being Mr. Walters is "Interesting People", but i can't remember which episode it's from.
Grazie per i sottotitoli, sono utili! ^^

It's in the first season -- "How to Recognize Different Types of Trees From Quite A Long Way Away" (and yes, that's the title).
