Last night they showed a repeat.  This may be a kind of trailer for a new 
series, but I'm kind of bored with it anyway.

[for brevity, my original list not included, nor other followups]

As I said, my list was probably not complete, Yes, Pole to Pole is now
airing with Palin.  I'm currently taping it, and I had it on my private
list that indicates which of the shows I have on tape, but it got
lost in the transfer to the posted information.  Also, Idle was in
National Lampoon's European Vacation - Chase and family ran into him
several times :-).

Also, someone said that Jabberwocky is not Python.  I've heard this
before, but the box and perhaps the title says it is a Monty Python
production.  I think in fact Palin is the only one to appear on the
screen.

In addition, someone mentioned in mail to me the series most of the
troupe was in prior to Flying Circus: "The Complete and Utter History
of the World According to Television."  Clips of which can be seen
in the 20 years of Month Python special, which I also left off the
list even though I have it on tape.

You're missing Nuns on the Run with Idle and

And Cleese also appears in one of the Muppet movies.

There were also 2 special Python shows produced for German

The Christmas special was quite good, especially the piss-take of 'Sign of

old git looks _exactly_ like a character out of one of Martin Honeysett's

The problem with calling them Python is that they still don't have

 No offence but I had to laugh at this. If you ever see Spitting Image (a UK
show of satire using latex puppets), you may have seen their sketch involving
Hugh Laurie trying to say what a versatile actor he was..

    "I can play someone whose rich and stupid, or stupid and rich, or someone
who is very stupid who happens to be rich"

    Think about it. I think he's great but all his characters are, well,
rich and stupid (Lieutenant George, Prince Regent, Bertie Wooster etc.). Not
what I'd call versatile..
