After I hit the 'publish' button, I'll think of a dozen more I like better.

I was under the impression that they were simply clips from “Flying Circus” strung together without any real involvement with any of the Pythons, save for maybe brief introductions, but I’m very glad to have been proven wrong. Instead, the idiosyncratic personalities of each member get to present their side of the story showcasing their unique talents, except for Graham, but what a lovely little tribute to his genius, anyway. <BR/><BR/>As for favorite sketches, I really can’t recall the names of any of my favorites, except for the aforementioned dead parrot and upper-class twit competition. My favorite has to be the one shown at the head of the Chapman episode, where he realizes that he’s “on film”, panics, and races inside to tell the other members of the board meeting.Aaron W.
