"My Sweet Civil Law"--given the moment in George's life, this is truly hilarious, as is how Idle managed to incorporate "My Sweet Lord" into the show without triggering any legal reciprocations. But even better is how perfectly George slides into the unlikely character of Pirate Bob, hobbling about on a with a fake parrot tied to his shoulder, so deeply dedicated to 'acting.' The "Quiet Beatle" is in no way apparent despite [Palin?]'s blandishments and assurances that there is no 'Pirate Sketch.' "Well up you!" cries PB and hobbles off stage, setting us up for an even deeper dive... This is my "Christmas Movie" every year. You can have your White Christmases and you can tell Virginia there's an abundance of Santies. I'll stick with Harrison because he's not really quiet, he's cheeky as hell, and he's the secret final member of the Pythons.
That came from their first time in America. The story is, George was recovering from a throat infection of some sort. His doctor had advised him as much as possible, not to speak. So that his voice could be as ready for the upcoming concerts. The TV interview a few days before they started, shows them all speaking up except for George who said very little because of the advice. The press named him the quiet Beatle from that time on.
Hello there! I was wondering if you had anything featuring Rick Astley from back in the day? Many of his old appearances on tv shows have been lost unfortunately

That is Eric Idle of Python, not Michael Palin my friend
I think he said "My Sweet Cyril Lord". Cyril Lord was a well known (and well advertised on TV) carpet manufacturer in the UK in the 1960s and 70s.
Still one of my favourite George moments. God bless you George
Cracks me up every time!!! George was very funny (as of course, is his friend Eric Idle)!!!
Fabulous!
They always said George was "The Quiet (maybe, in their eyes, the most serious) Beatle".
They didn't know George very well.
