    Hi,
    I'm looking for a sketch which featured in one of the shows in the tv series of
    Monty Python's Flying Circus. It involves a group of tv producers sitting in a room discussing a new title for a new show. While they're brainstorming, someone continually knocks on the door. Eventually one of them opens the door, and a man with an arrow through his head enters in a wheelchair.

    Can someone please tell me the name of that sketch?

    This site is useful for such questions: http://www.ibras.dk/montypython/justthewords.htm

    It can be googled: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.ibras.dk/montypython+tv+wheelchair+knoc k

    Which finds episode 42:

    Sketch titled:
    "Programme titles conference"

    It's apparently a sword rather than an arrow.

    HTH,
    Mark
