Monty Python eps 30: Gestures to indicate pauses in televised talk (Mr. Orbiter)

One of my favorite sketches but i didn't see that anyone had uploaded it yet. This is also maybe the single strongest episode in all 4 seasons with the pantomime horse/merchant banker, Mary Recruitment Office (maybe graham chapman's best next to "Woody/Tinny"), the Anagram man ("Taht si crreoct"), et al. Every one a winner.

One of my lesser-known favourites as well! (But I really wish the whole thing was uploaded - you know, the bit with the BBC announcements and the silent Richard Baker making all those weird gestures with the unrelated images and the BBC announcers partying offscreen.)

@vonbontee I was just following the script for where the sketch ended. I can look again and reupload if i cut something.

Wow! What was this off of, DVD or VHS? On my A&E DVD's. the scene starts at half zoom, so you can't see the 'Is The Queen Sane' banner in it's entirety.

@dharmaseed Oh weird. It's from the 14 disc DVD set. Which is also from A&E i believe.

[dharmaseed]

@polishbroadcast Stupid A&E. I bought these sets starting six years ago, and NOW they release the uncensored and improved ones. Pfft. Good-o to you for uploading them, tho. Still love Python.

@dharmaseed Mine is the original 14 disc box set from like 2001 (possibly earlier - that's just when i bought it), so definitely not new.

An example of the type of British humour that escapes many non-Brits.
