Party Political Broadcast (Choreographed) - Monty Python's Flying Circus - Rare

„A Party Political Broadcast on Behalf of the Conservative and Unionist Party" was the pre-title sketch for Series 3 Episode 12 (A Book at Bedtime) when BBC TV first broadcast the series in the UK in November 1973. When BBC TV repeated the episode in October 1974, the sketch was no longer there. Why was it dropped? The theory is that the broadcast was scheduled just prior to the 1974 General Election and the BBC thought it might profoundly effect how the country would vote.
This is the only remaining version of that highly politically contentious sketch that managed to find its way onto the PBS station in Buffalo NY.
