@kayper54 1976. It's from the 'Pleasure at her majesty's' recording which you can find (very cheaply!) on the Secret Policeman's Ball DVD's. The show was originally called 'A poke in the eye (with a sharp stick)'.

I'm assuming this is from one of the Amnesty International shows. Does anyone know the year this was filmed?

Pure comic brilliance.

"Mister Bartlett, you do realize you are meant to be counsel for the defense?"
Best gag in the whole thing, and John's reaction.

This is a rare piece of footage from a brief experiment in the 1970s to televise High Court trials on the BBC. However after the, ahem, trial run, the Lord Chancellor decided not pursue the idea, as he felt that the authority and majesty of the court system was not fully appreciated by the working class tossers watching it on TV. Thanks for posting this important piece of British social history.

Pure genius... Peter Cook's absolutely phenomenal, but just look at that maniacal face of John Cleese at about 2:25 ! The guys were on top of their game. Priceless performance, surely a timeless one.
