@JasmineEsMi It's pretty obvious from the Mrs Thatcher punchline that Michael is not 'pranking' John. John remains in character throughout. They decided to change it because they had grown bored of performing the original sketch - especially when the audiences seemed to know it better than them anyway - and added the tagline because Thatcher had quoted from the sketch herself not long before.

Could also be a reference to Britain moving from a manufacturing to a service economy during her time in office, thus rendering traditional depictions of appalling British customer service (as in the original Parrot Sketch and Fawlty Towers) somewhat obsolete.

Wow, that was a bit of a twist
-
@einootspork actually it is a proper prank, John Cleese mentioned it in an interview once :)
-
I love the way they pranked John Cleese on this one. The way he just looks at Michael and doesn't know what to say is hilarious :)

@halogen123 Mrs. Thatcher made a speech quoting from the Dead Parrot sketch, Just in case that was bothering you after three years! :)

@deltaflyer5 It was planned. They just didn't tell John.
