The Royal Hospital For Overacting.

Anther great sketch is the RAF Banter from the 3rd series.

"bally jerry, banged is kyte, right in the hows your father,hairy blighter, dicky birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his betty harpers and caught his can in the bertie".

Now who could'nt understand that banter. Its a good sketch if Carol Cleveland is in it.

One other thing, dont know if this has already been mentioned but the 'four Yorkshire men' sketch is not a Monty Python sketch, its a 'At Last the 1948 Show' sketch. This was a pre Python show, like 'Do Not Adjust Your Set'. 1948 show starred John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Tim Brooke Taylor and Marty Feldman. They performed the sketch 1st, it was then put into Python live stage shows in the 1970s.

I don't know what to call the sketch but I seem to remember it's Graham Chapman & John Cleese as the mad mountaineer who climbs all over the room. Chapman is always seeing double & speaks to two people all the time. At the end Cleese leaves the room but there actually IS another Cleese left with Chapman! Nice twist!

Presenter: A small-time operator who fell foul of Dinsdale Piranha was Vince Snetterton-Lewis.

Vince: Well, one day I was sitting at home, threatening the kids, and I looked out of the hole in the wall and I saw this tank drive up and one of Dinsdale's boys gets out and he comes up, all nice and friendly like, and says Dinsdale wants to have a talk with me. So he chains me to the back of the tank and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's. And Dinsdale's there in the conversation pit with Doug and Charles Paisley, the baby crusher, and a couple of film producers and a man they called 'Kierkegaard' who just sat there, biting the heads off whippets, and Dinsdale said 'I hear you've been a naughty boy Clement' and he splits me nostrils open and saws me leg off and pulls me liver out, and I said my name's not Clement, and then he loses his temper and nails my head to the floor.

Interviewer: He nailed your head to the floor?

Vince: At first, yeah.

Hi, its the experdition to climb both peaks of mount Kilimanjaro (there being only one of course). Eric Idle answers an advert to join Cleese's experdition. Cleese has a double vision problem a keeps putting his had over his right eye. Chapman plays Jimmy Blankenop (think thats how its spelt), who climbs and smashes his way through the office. Hope this helps.

Announcer: In this picture, there are forty-seven people. None of them can be seen. In this film, we hope to show you how not to be seen. This is Mr E.R. Bradshaw of Napier Court, Black Lion Road, London, SE14. He cannot be seen. Now, I'm going to ask him to stand up. Mr Bradshaw, will you stand up, please?

[Mr Bradshaw stands up and is shot]

Announcer: This demonstrates the value of not being seen.

He has clearly learnt the value of not being seen. Unfortunately, he has chosen a particularly obvious piece of cover. BOOM!!
