Chapman suggested they say that they were Jewish, but the group was still denied entry.
wired:
"Graham (Chapman) said, 'Tell them we’re Jewish,' he recalled, to a now completely inconsolable audience. 'They let us in.'"

i only recently found out about German Python. Palin's and Cleese's German are actually quite good as far as i can tell.

This has been out on DVD for ages here. First ep is all German, second is all English. Fascinating stuff.

Oh god, a guy I was dating broght over the german python dvd once, back in 2002. I got rabidly drunk while watching it and so dont recall most of it.

Excellent! I like the story about how he recorded this in one night at Nilsson's place. The usual schtick about that group of party fiends (Lennon, Moon, Nilsson, Ringo, Chapman etc) being on a years-long career-killing bender often overlooks some pretty creative stuff.

would love to see the full-length version of cleese and palin's face-off with muggeridge one day. have only seen clips in docs, and it seems a corker.
― sbgorf (stevie), Sunday, 14 August 2011 10:22 (1 year ago) Permalink
getting repeated next month iirc? spods have compiled 45 minutes of it from all the excerpts in various docos over the years but this may be its first ever actual full rebroadcast
― generous loller at dollies (sic), Sunday, 14 August 2011 15:17 (1 year ago) Permalink
there's no "face-off" to speak of tho. muggeridge is an utter tool and the increasingly hurt and pissed-off cleese and palin just zing the senile old twat into oblivion.

Palin in partic claims to have been completely surprised by the vitriol directed at the movie. And tho I think they were being a little disingenuous when they said that they weren't laughing at Christianity, it should be pretty obvious to the feeblest feeb that the man-made fuckery of religious bureaucracy is the real target. Muggeridge, like a lot of late-convert Catholics, doesn't realise something that the church had sussed many years earlier: the best way to deflect satire is to pretend that the work is deeply religious at heart. (Obv it ain't)

Jones said at the end of the one of those clip show thingys - "It was't blasphemous, it was heretical..."

Rather more than a clip show thingy actually. This was on the Beeb a couple of years ago.http://youtu.be/eC5rhnuMPz8

The new movie then:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/jan/27/monty-python-film-reunion-absolutely-anything
Terry Gilliam cast doubt on whether a reunion would ever be successfully achieved. "We all have our own careers now … the BBC put us on 10 years ago, and it was an hour of mediocrity … the work wasn't what it should be."
He means that Monty Python Night thing hosted by Eddie Izzard, I presume. He's right, the new sketches in that were pretty mediocre.

watching series four atm, move towards making each installment a more complete episode with a theme or two running through it works very well i think

mm, where do you stand on 'The Cycling Tour' from Series 3? it's years since i saw it but i thought it worked pretty great; one long 30 minute sketch as it were. i think they put it into the 'failed experiment' box, or some of them did anyway as they never did that again.
― piscesx, Saturday, 24 March 2012 14:06 (1 year ago) Permalink
i think that was the first departure in that direction, yeah (tho 'ethel the frog' with spiny norman and the krays substitutes was probably close to it too). i didn't like that one iirc but i could revisit.
i think it maybe turned out a lot like one of palin's whatchoocallem tales?
