Amazing. This is one of my favorite blogs.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute gold as usual - so many avenues to explore there!
ReplyDeleteA quick observation - it would appear that the "...with very few naughty words" script would be from 1972 rather than 1970. The handwritten notes ("Shakespeare poster to nude organist", "Big Game slaughtered made into cocktails", etc) refer to the animated sequences in Series 3, Show 10 (although this was indeed originally recorded as 'Episode 13' - the finale to that particular series).
Also worth noting that this particular show was famously butchered by the BBC due to worries over the content (our old Python site includes all the gory details here). Note that animations of Cleese saying "And now..." and Palin saying "It's..." were originally intended to accompany the cartoon of Terry Jones' nude organist - but were apparently removed in the process of chopping, changing and rearranging the show.
It is known incidentally that a fair amount of Flying Circus filmed inserts were handed back to the Python office by the BBC. It may be worth checking whether these feature any of the animated bits which were later truncated or snipped entirely before the shows were edited for TV.
Thank you for pointing that out (that was my mistake when typing). Thank you also for the great info. - so interesting & all very helpful! I'm in the process of looking into what the BBC archives hold so will look out for the film inserts with animation!
ReplyDeleteRandom non sequitur... the writing all over these pages, particularly the third image, reminds me of some of Harry's inks...my favorite of which is "Ruins." Or I suppose, the other way round...similar handwriting.
