  • Skit where Arabs throw people in water

    From Cowbell@1:396/4 to All on Wed Aug 6 01:36:02 2008

    I am trying to find out in which episode there was a skit with an
    elderly lady (Michael Palin, I think) standing on a riverbank reciting
    awful boring poetry. Some Arabs appear on the other bank and cannot
    get to her. They wave their arms and jump up and down in
    frustration. They throw several people in the river in baskets but I
    am not sure what happens to them. I think it winds up in animation
    with a samurai coming up the bank behind the old lady and cutting her
    in half, or her head off, or something like that. Can anyone help?
    Thank you!
