The reactions were certainly staged. You can clearly hear John Cleese and Connie Booth at 0:51.

One of my favourites

@AFistfulofAnime He looked more like acting the worried producer to me

"Well, I do feel a bit peckish."
Genius.

I wish the reactions were authentic, but I believe it was all staged. How wonderful to insult an audience. Still one of my favorite Python sketches along with the one making fun of Godardlike "art" films with Terry Jones meeting the woman in a dump and then cutting away to various scenes of violence. Silly but smart stuff. No one can touch the Pythons.

the sickest!

I think it was an authentic audience, but they were told when and how to re-act at certain points of the sketch. If you look at the "grins" on many of their faces at the end, they clearly are not actors.

i like the way you can hear one of them shout 'it's only a sketch!' as the crowd r rushing down
-
what makes it so great is the fact that they acknowledge how sick it is

only league of gentlemen matches this
How to tell if the audience were acting or it was a real protest.
Were the audience British? Yes.
Did they act peacefully and complain quietly afterwards amongst themselves? No.
They were actors.

"....Look....we'll eat her, and if you happen to fee a bit guilty about it afterwards, we'll dig a grave and you can throw up in it!"
One of the best dark humor punch-lines ever!
