Yeah, and he appears to have the same name too! I wonder what the odds to

Actually, I'd venture to say that it is about the best (ie funniest
and most original) program on British TV at the moment. Although
British TV is fairly sad right now (what happened to the `plateau'
idea BBC? Is `Your Best Shot' really not a derivative of all the worst
programs on ITV?), it would still stand its ground in better
company...

Hi !

        I was asked in a private e-mail about Maid Marian and decided to
enlighten everyone about the series ( If anyone knows the Monty Python
connection - please let me know ).
        Maid Marian and Her Merry Men is a (supposedly) kid's program (
one where half the jokes are aimed well over the kids' heads ) that is
currently showing it's third series of 6 programs on BBC1. All episodes
are written by Tony Robinson ( Baldrick ) who also stars as the Sherrif
of Nottingham. The other cast members who I can remember off-hand are the
quite nice Kate Longeran (spelling?) as Marian, Wayne Morris as Robin of
Kensington ( a very upper-class part of London ), and Danny John-Jules (
The Cat from Red Dwarf ) as Barrington the Rastafarian merry man.
 			 The two videos currently available are the whole of the 1st series.
        All in all its very silly and terriffic fun. My excuse is that I
watch it with my daughter ( OK, so she's only six months old but she
still likes the songs ).

I am fortunate to have two books of the scripts, the names are "Monty
Pythons Flying Circus Just the Words, Volume 1 & 2".  I got them from a
book club called the Literary Guild based in Swindon, but I think you
can get them in the shops (in England I don't know about Ireland).  If
you need any more info E-Mail me at address below, as I use someone
elses account to post news.

Hope this helps.

Worthy though Monty Python is it is outside of the normal
British Canon, being a bit off the wall.

For the truly British, or English, one must go and seek
out 'Grace and Favour', currently enjoying a triumphant second

I'm sorry, I really am.

Just a couple of things about the exhaustive list :

1) What's the connection between Maid Marian and her Merry Men (wonderful
series tho' it is ) and MP ?

2) On the movie posters, 'The Crimson Chartered Accountant' was actually
a separate film from 'The Meaning of Life' despite the two being linked.
In fact it was nominated for a BAFTA as best short film as I recall.
Didn't win tho'.

good few other films.

I suppose if anyone wants them, mail me. I'm doing a corrected
version of 'Grial soon (Once I get the vid back off a friend), so if
you wanna wait 'till I have that, all the better. 
The MoL script is the official one, as published, and the Brian one
is typed in xactly as it's said in the film.

OK?

Does anyone know anything about a person who calls himself Mad Gerald?
He was in a Blackadder episode and the write-up in TV Guide said that
the episode starred Mad Gerald as himself.
