About the 'Bob'. In 1970, before decimilization, one pound was 20 shillings or 20 bob in slang terms. So 10 bob was half a pound. each shilling was 12 pennies. 240 to a pound. Now the old 'bob' is only 5 pence in new money. So it was only a small amount of cash, even then. Just one more silliness or absurdity in the sketch.
@supremeobliterator Well, C is the Roman numeral for one-hundred so it would make sense if it was. I'm fairly certain that the more common reference is Benjamins.
'I guarantee that not a single armoured division will get done over for say...fifteen bob a week' Ha ha ha totally brilliant. One of my favourite Python sketches
@SGRollingStone eh, no, eric idle is the 1st one to walk in, john cleese it the second also, eric idle never appeared in the dead parrot sketch i belive if he does then i need to watch it again
They are only engenious.The Mafia sketch is fantastic but he plays in the fact that the script leaves him too little funny lines.Its like a joke framed within a joke.
Dude, the name of this sketch is "Army Protection Racket." You could be correct in calling the two guys mafia men, but Im just telling you that this is the official name of this sketch
Who cares about the official name? Over the years this sketch's been called "The Army Sketch", "The Mafia Sketch", "The Army vs. The Mafia Sketch" and even "I Want to Leave the Army".
No one plays the straightman like Graham Chapman <3
