Imagine starting a kids TV show with a Shakespeare parody 😆
Yes, we kids were much more intelligent then.
This is the genesis of Monty Python, the goodies, only fools and horses. The recent passing of Neil Innes has made me realise where my culture came from.
David Suttie Good bit of Python came out of “At Last The 1948 Show” as well.
The Frost Report preceded both, and five Python members were either writers or performers on that show.
Wow, how many legends and "national treasures" did this childrens show spawn?
Almost all of the, to be, Monty Python team
Bonzo dog band with Neil Innes, who worked with Eric idle on the "legendary in thier own lunchtime" Beatles spoof, The Rutles.
And if that wasnt enough..David Jason...now a national treasure and well respected actor.
who were the musicians in the "rock" band ?
I laughed more [genuinely] at the first few minutes more than I've done at any [modern] broadcast comedy in the last 20 years.
Anything by Armando Iannucci is really funny as well, in particular TIme Trumpet and The Armando Iannucci shows
Amazing to think this was a children's programme when first broadcast.
RIP Neil & Terry. you will always be missed
I remember this being really "out there" compared to other 1960's after-school fare. They later said that it was the only timeslot they could get. Thank goodness because otherwise, (in all likelihood) no Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Can't believe this has been here for 5 years and I didn't know about it! Wonderful stuff.
RIP Terry.
RIP Neil n all x
Feel privileged to have been a young un in the 60s and caught all this 'alt' humour stuff(Strange world of Gurney Slade, DNAYS - precursors of Monty Python, Rutland TV et al), and some great music too. What a decade that was!
Ooh you're lucky; always wanted to see Gurney Slade since I heard of it!
I love the Pythons AND the Bonzos. Beautiful.
Monster mash! extra treat!
Wow I've never seen these! It was a kids show with that band? Lol. That would have scared the s**t out of me. Love seeing my young Pythons...no words. Lots of genuine laughs. Just amazing to see them and feel the Monty Python origins
Lovely. I met Michael Palin in 2012. Not met David Jason yet but nice to meet a man who worked with David.
Benjamin Caine Was he as nice as they say?
I remember watching the original programmes. 55 years ago. Is that Vivien Stanshal in the Bonzo Dogs? I think he was the voice on Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells.
It is. He was.
Okay, I'm calling it, finally, after 40 years of debate, Michael Palin is the funniest of them all. That very first sketch, when they are doing Shakespeare, he had me laughing at his first lines.
+greg55666 I'm sure he'll go far.
Palin is an international treasure, a man of whom it can truly be said, "he's a lumberjack and he's o.k."
But John Cleese demoted him a few years ago, saying he's not the funniest Palin anymore…
@ Palin left Cleese for dead. Watch the Ripping Yarns series. Jones, Palin and Idle were the backbone of Python
I agree. He’s amazing
Shows how superior TV was in the UK even in the Dark Ages.
+hellspite those really were our golden days..... they really were.
Indeed, I like your photo Michelle..

I'd never heard of this until it was on a programme about Sir David Jason. It was for kids at 5.0 pm but eventually was aired later at 7:0 pm because adults were dashing home from work to watch it. Jason was left behind when the university three moved on to start Monty Python. He wasn’t too pleased.
Yes, but none of the others have been knighted
@@nord1486 Michael Palin was knighted in 2019.
@@dalegkalina Oh yes. So he was.
This is sooooo good. I can't help feeling The Bonzos should've been incorporated into Python somehow.
Nah, The Bonzos got incorperated with Beatles instead for some reason.
The late great Neil Innes did, the minstrel in The Holy Grail.
What a programme! What incredible ideas! Amazing stuff. Monty Python something different (not completey, but something else). I do not see this as "leading" to Python. Simply different and superb!
As a Scot I enjoyed the Tartan Thistle Club gentle parody, but in modern Scotland you have to watch behind closed curtains with the volume down and hope the neighbours don't report you!
Loved this show !
BRILLIANT! THANK YOU!
Well, this is fascinating. 54 this year and had no idea David Jason had anything to do with baby pythons. And John Cleese was no where to be seen yet... he wasn't as fundamental as I thought. It all makes more sense now. The players here are all so recognisable even this many decades on. John Cleese is a c***
I remember this series like it was yesterday! Captain Fantastic and his nemesis Mrs Black!
Love it!
Thank you!
Enjoy!
this is brillant, this is monty, before python, so great! david jason, looks about 18.
I watched this show as a kid on children's TV. So funny.
Wonderful! Those old enough to know will have spotted that Viv Stanshall changed the name of the Crypt Kicker Five in in Monster Mash.
Denise Coffey died in March this year, never got her due IMO. I see she has top billing here!
Utterly Brilliant!! 💔🙏
LOL!! LOVE the trombone solo!!!!
Stool Pigeon is one of my favourites!
Del Boy. I love him even more after seeing him here. Wow. That was for kids! Magic. Grew up in the part of Ireland that did not get the BBC in the 70s and 80s. We hardly got any comedy when I was young on TV. It was like the craic and humour was illegal on the TV. No wonder my dad who lived in England during the 60s loved UK TV. RTE didnt have much funny stuff when I grew up.

Ground-breaking stuff when it came out, we all raved about it in school also on the radio at last the 1948 show , pre goodies on that Tim Brooke Taylor bill oddie ,all were developing newer comedy
Sorry folks it was I'm sorry I'll read that again that was on the radio , long time ago all this !!
This is incredibly interesting. I would very much love to hear what children from the 60s thought about television programmes like Do Not Adjust Your Set or Freewheelers. I really do.
@@Philemon_Logos hi - can't say anymore what i said in my comment but we all raved about do not adjust your set and at last the 1948 show , other things on at the time was Peter Cook & Dudley Moore that my mum hated because of the swearing , thank god she didn't hear derek & Clive that they did in the 70s ! Thats on you tube as well extreme stuff ! Spike milligan as well we all liked , glad the guys from do not adjust your set & at last the 1948 show amalgamated together for monty python and the goodies , genius stuff , we won't see humour like that again, laugh on !
@@alanjones6359 Thank you kindly for your response.
Laugh on!
@@Philemon_Logos no prob 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄!!!!!
About half the Monty Python team is on this show. Nearly all of them learned their chops in the Theatre (Footlights), other TV shows and radio before MP got going. I bet not many Americans know that....;-)
I remember this when i was about 6 years old. Seemed like something very new and different even at that age...
Did you think it was funny?
Yes it was funny then...
this is the first time I have seen this since I saw it on Children's TV in 1968
The 'Stool Pigeon' sketch is a clear try-out for the Monty Python 'Non-illegal Robbery' sketch!
By an extraordinary coincidence, the very same thought entered my cerebrum.

OMG Thank you.
"Erich Von Tutree Four." LMAO!!!
where it all began :)
Heard about this show on the python documentaries. Even on Python almost the truth no one mentions anything about David Jason being in the cast.
In his autobiography Jason writes that Palin, Jones and Idle got increasingly frustrated with the limitations of writing the show that they simply refused to write any more scripts and buggered off with Cleese and Chapman leaving Jason and Coffey in the lurch.
He says the BBC offered them their own "Captain Fantastic" show as they liked it, but they were both rather hurt by the defection.
cool brov.
Alan Page
I can understand their frustration. If you watch "At Last the 1948 show" you can is it was very python-like. This isn't but there are pythonesque moments especially with Palin and Jones.
@@Kris.G i wonder why the 1948 lot didnt end up as pythons. Imagine marty feldman in it... Well not too hard since he was leading in the same sketches python reused.
onemediamusic: Great to see this again and thanks for uploading it, but any chance of a re-upload? The 2011 TH-cam quality really doesn't do it justice.
10:10 Bonzos invent punk rock.
?
I watching this years ago. A great show. I found the shoe polish surreal but funny
A dry run for Palin and Cleese's Cheese shop sketch?
I thought just the same. Grew up 70's Denmark watching the Flying Circus as a kid. So though this is totally new to me I find a lot of similarities.@@robkeeleycomposer
Phenomenal
Very well done at bringing this to You Tube.
David Jason amazing
Captain Fantastic is also the name of a magnificent album by none other than Sir Reginald Kenneth Dwight.
Seeing as how Reg played w/Scaffold which became enmeshed with the Bonzos, its pretty clear he took the LP name from the show...
No it isn't... The album is called Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy.
Something with David Jason NoT on the UK Gold Channel?! David & Tim Brooke Taylor were considered for Python, what mightve been,
RIP Billy Sledge
Reminds me somewhat of the Ernie Kovaks show.
15:18 Did Terry Jones say he was Sgt. Pepper? i guess no one ownd the rights to charedter's names specificly.
DerekBayRoberts1 he actually said “Sergeant Pepper - Criminal Records” - clearly a deliberate joke.
Its because of stanshalls links to Billy "Shepherd" Shears/"Paul McCartney".
Did Jarvis Cocker go back in time to sing Monster Mash?
Tremendous! Does anyone know what the music to Captain Fantastic is?
Listen to the album which was the first to enter the US charts at #1
Was it Neil Innes playing the harpsichord for real in the orchestra sketch?
Imagine pitching this to CBeebies now.
Viv Stanshall at his most pink
David Jason was quite posh in those days!
I’ve read that the python boys and David Jason didn’t see eye to eye,I think it was because the pythons went to Oxbridge such a shame cos I like them all 👍
Would love a higher quality version.
Let's just count ourselves lucky that the tapes weren't wiped.
You can get one... Buy the DVD.
Donald, where's your trousers?
I suspect you have to be at least as old me to get the reference to Raymond Francis.
David Jason was not asked to come along with the three Python's when that programme was being put together... I have often wondered why he was not invited to be part of that team... Then again, if he had thrown in his lot with them there may never have been a character called DEL BOY in the superb Only Fools And Horses... Prior to that of course there were episodes of Porridge and co-starring with Ronnie Barker again in Open All Hours.... This show is pretty good but lacks the finesse of MPFC.
David Jason was probably not asked to join the others because they were old friends from university days whereas he didn’t go to university. In his autobiography he recalls going to a party they were at with lots of “pretty intellectual conversation” and feeling “out of his depth”. I suspect they felt he didn’t quite fit in with them or their humour.
OMG that last sketch was so Scottishist!
LOL, you've only just posted that and you've already liked it!
On the subject of my post I can't remember what it was referring to. Probably the sketch had some Scottish stereotypes or something.
***** Haha well at least you've named yourself well. The "ist" ending is meant to imply a prejudiced opinion, you know like 'racist'. Ordinarily I wouldn't think I'd have to explain but I guess there are always a few.
***** Once again you twist what I say, and ignore what you can't answer. You complain about me doing things you've done yourself and all of this is irrelevant to what I originally posted. You had no reason to launch an attack on me and it's all because you're incapable of getting any fun without putting innocent people down. You're totally negative and there is no purpose or productivity to your trolling. Why do you do it? Why are you like that? You have such a low opinion of other people yet you need them to have your petty fun.
And BTW coming on with another account and pretending to be someone else is lame as fuck and in this case COMPLETELY obvious. And I love how you've changed your own name to avoid what I pointed out about calling yourself a twat! :D Without admitting it of course!
***** GASP! "blowing her pimp for meth money"??? How can you be so IMMATURE?! And whatever other words you tried to use before, I can't even be bothered opening up the comment list.
No, I'm not crying, how about you? What happened to that 'other' guy, you know the one with a similar MO and turn of phrase who popped up conveniently to give you some apparent 'support'? :D Have your Mum and dog dumped you and you're getting it on with him while you type?
***** Back again huh? :D You're not looking good just repeating yourself. That's the act of a politician or lawyer, not a troll.
This was, at the time, ostensibly a kids show...just goes to show how things have moved along doesn't it...
2:45 made me think of th-cam.com/video/8Bjlswx7sT8/w-d-xo.html - Top Gear theme tune with engine sounds :)
Naughty English school boys.
Denise Coffey got lost in time.
Whatever happened to Denise Coffey?
I remember she was on Rainbow. More recently she worked on Alexi Sayels merry go round as Bobby Chariots manager.
robzrob she was on Season 1 of ' The Burkiss Way'
Ah, The Burkiss Way..... To Dynamic Living! :)
robzrob Exactly :) And Eric Pode from Croydon!
She’s retired now.
...this is a kids show?
Erik von Tutri Four😊
Mrs Black's Horrible Handbag......ha-ha-ha!!!
Thanks for uploading!
But it's funny that even though the video is in B&W and of poor quality
It's also was uploaded in 144p,10 fps...
Quality's already bad,why adding to it LOL
It makes it easy to imagine sitting in front of a tiny black & white TV set with an aerial, snowy reception and garbled sound in 1967 - verisimilitude!
So weird to see David Jason speak in a posh accent 🤣
I object to the fact that there are far too few episodes of this outstanding programme. Also apparently some cannot understand humor unless it is something that can be directly applied to their current position in life, ie current fads, politics etc. Ahem, SNL sucks! My deepest regret for their shallow unimaginative lives. Sincerely Brigadier General Smokestoomuch Mrs.
Not Watchable, Thanks.
Is this a kid show? This is terrible.
Are you a kid?
Was it Neil Innes playing the harpsichord for real in the orchestra sketch?
