Cleese is so Basil Fawlty by the end of the book shop sketch (especially when he says "Right! I'll buy it for you!" which reminds me of his Basil dialogue in the Mrs Richards episode where he says about giving her the shirt off his back)! Interesting to see him here doing a kind of "run up" into that sort of angry character. :-)
I LOVE the walking backward part when Cleese ("the SAME") cant get the gun out of his pocket.
Thank you so much for taking the trouble and your free time to post this for us all to view without any effort or cost. There's a lot of great humour here. Naturally by the time of Python, Cleese et al had gained experience in timing etc but the basic brilliance and originality are obvous. There'd been nothing like this before - the Goons were great but this goes beyond in many ways and not only in being on TV vs Radio.
Love the sheepdog sketch - Graham was brilliant, so funny. He was often the straight man in Python but was such a fine comic actor too.
Basically the same character he played in the Flying Sheep sketch in the second-ever MPFC episode.
It was another one I could recite from memory. I still use certain quotes such as "A most holy secret that cannot and must not be divulged" and "Well over 2"
The bookshop sketch! I remember seeing it acted by someone other that Cleese in a Marty Feldman special. Have to say Cleese gets the more laughs. He's simply remarkable at rage comedy...
I remember seeing the bookshop sketch acted out by cleese and eric idle when I saw them on stage a few years back. Still hilarious.
Yes, definitely some Faulty Towers vibes.
they did this before monty python, it was so different, to anything around at the time! it has the Python's strangeness. quite brilliant.
"Mice Laugh Softly, Charlotte" is legit one of the funniest things I've ever seen. They are ALL just amazing in it. Also, I'm always impressed when the bigger guys - Cleese and Graham (Cleese, in this sketch) - manage to do some great physical comedy and falls and stuff. This one is just soooooo good. Might be the highest laugh count, at least for me, from start to finish, of all the sketches from this show that I've seen and that is saying A LOT.
Eric Idle as the elevator operator is a nice touch.
"I'll get the police!"
"You ARE the police."
"I'll get more of them!" XD
Oddie: "I can't drive!"
Cleese: "I'll teach you to drive!!"
Oddie: "Thank you sir!"
It must be over 50 years since I saw this episode on TV and I've never forgotten that exchange. Brilliant sketch.
"Mice Laugh Softly, Charlotte" is silly, hilarious and brilliant. I don't suppose they even considered doing the follow-up Part Six, more's the pity.
Loving the cheese shop sketch origin. 😉
The part with the windup hospital visit terrifies me
Tim's robot visitor at times makes me think of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory - all of the right movements but he can't do it in a way that would help Bill. I felt for Bill when he ducked as Tim's arm swung out!
This is brilliant thanks for uploading.
Bill Oddie is the hospital patient.
"Who are you?
BRONSKY!
WHO?
BRONSKY!!!
But you're not with our lot.
Oh aren't I? I'm sorry..."
If memory serves, I think Tim later said they weren't sure what to do with Marty in this sketch, so they just threw him in randomly...which i think honestly is the best thing to do with him in a sketch like this.
"And it's a clear night..."
Tim: "What's that got to do with it?"
LOL! Just sooo good.
The book shop sketch!! I thought this was lost! thanks so much for uploading! :D
Thank you so much for uploading this episode. I have been yearning to watch the bookshop sketch for ages!
sleep starvation brilliant marty
Love Marty Feldman
Wow.
7:10 This whole sketch wouldn't look out of place in an episode of The Goodies.
I think Python had better delivery of the scripts than At last the 1948 show. Some of the jokes vanish in the hasty delivery.
I do love it though :)
The one without the Gannet?!?!?
Scantily clad
Sad that the DVD release chose to splice together sketches from this show rather than include them in their entirety.
Blame Thames Television for losing or wiping all but two of the original tapes. What we have now comes from a number of sources, including compilation tapes from someone in Sweden. Few episodes are complete - but this I think is one of them.
@@peterfreeman6677 did Rediffusion become Thames television?
Was that Eric in the elevator?
It was.
Who is the actor on the righf ? Please someone 😂
If you're talking about the bookshop sketch, then the one on the right is John Cleese. He's an amazing actor and comedian, I loved him in the movie "A Fish Called Wanda"
How are you ferling
