  • Pythons at the Ballet

    From Lars@1:379/45 to All on Tue Apr 4 11:50:42 2006

    Hi group,

    A long time ago I have seen a bit, on TV, with the Pythons dressed up and behaving as football fans, possibly Scotsmen, going to the ballet and loudly cheering on the dancers as if they were footballers.

    They seem to treat some of the dancers as belonging to "the other team", and shout insults at them, like "Hey Nurejev, do you call that a leap?!!"

    Do you know which episode or film this may be from?

    It's from _At Last The 1948 Show_ (John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Mary Feldman, and Tim Brook-Taylor). It's available on DVD.

    That should have been MarTy Feldman, and Tim BrookE-Taylor. At random moments, I can't type the letters T and E, all due to a trauma I suffered as a spoolboy.
