MUSEUM OF TELEVISION & RADIO SCREENING SERIES, THE: THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HISTORY OF MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS, PACKAGE 10: "HOW NOT TO BE SEEN" AND MORE USEFUL TECHNIQUES
Summary
"'How Not to Be Seen' and more useful techniques"
In excerpts from 1967's "At Last the 1948 Show" Graham
Chapman plays a television interviewer with a
particularly savage nervous tic. The complete "Monty
Python" episode "How Not to Be Seen" (1970) features an
interview with a filmmaker who has unusually large
teeth and a look at "crackpot religions." Eric Idle
wishes he could find a way not to be seen in an
appearance on a 1977 special edition of "Saturday Night
Live" from the Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Peter Sellers and Kenneth Connor perform a
Cleese-penned interview skit on David Frost's "Night Out
in London" (1967). The sketch was reprised as a 1980
performance on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny
Carson," where Idle and Cleese added a new twist to the
material.
The entire "Monty Python" episode "How to Recognize
Different Parts of the Body" (1970) includes "Bruces,"
a "camp regiment," and a bracing historic re-enactment
by the Batley TownswomenÕs Guild.
