i wonder how they did all that coffin sequence with the technology (or lack thereof) for movie editing in the 60's. i'm also intrigued by how those animations were filmed and put along with the live action sequences. i love the way they do, it was so primitive but so well done, its fantastic.
Michael Palin is supposed to be an Australian, with a can of beer & a surfboard. Implying that the hole is so deep, it goes all the way to Australia. The out door scenes were filmed in Burley Woodhead, and Cow & Calf on Rombalds moor. My old school can be seen!!! happy days
well actually those times would have been worse for gravediggers because more people were dieing before they could have kids, thus while there was a relative boom in job opportunities for a short period the there would be a drop in commerce after one generation
no i don't think so he is 1.95 m or so but not over 2 m and the regular beds have a standart mesurment of 2m in length and with depending if buy a doubble bed for 2 persons so i don't thnk so
These are great, but I kinda wish the undertaker scenes weren't cut together like this. It makes it feel a bit awkward, especially since the Jimmy Buzzard scene is out of place.
Lol! Frederic Chopin's Marche Funebre.
