Question: In what country was the 1980 adaptation of 'The Taming of the Shrew' featuring John Cleese broadcast ? 
Context: The BBC Television Shakespeare is a series of British television adaptations of the plays of William Shakespeare, created by Cedric Messina and broadcast by BBC Television.  Transmitted in the UK from 3 December 1978 to 27 April 1985, the series spanned seven seasons and thirty-seven episodes. Romance with a Double Bass is a 1974 British short comedy film directed by Robert Young.  It was adapted by Young and John Cleese from a screenplay by Bill Owen that was originally based on the short story of the same name by Anton Chekhov.  It stars Cleese and his then wife Connie Booth.  The cast included Andrew Sachs who would work with Cleese and Booth in "Fawlty Towers" the following year. "The Taming of the Shrew" in performance has had an uneven history.  Popular in Shakespeare's day, the play fell out of favour during the seventeenth century, when it was replaced on the stage by John Lacy's "Sauny the Scott".  The original Shakespearean text was not performed at all during the eighteenth century, with David Garrick's adaptation "Catharine and Petruchio" dominating the stage.  After over two hundred years without a performance, the play returned to the British stage in 1844, the last Shakespeare play restored to the repertory.  However, it was only in the 1890s that the dominance of "Catharine and Petruchio" began to wain, and productions of "The Shrew" become more regular.  Moving into the twentieth century, the play's popularity increased considerably, and it became one of Shakespeare's most frequently staged plays, with productions taking place all over the world.  This trend has continued into the twenty-first century, with the play as popular now as it was when first written. Kate - the Taming of the Shrew ["Kate – La bisbetica domata"] is a 2004 stop-motion-musical adaptation film of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew", directed by Roberto Lione.  The film, which uses a stop motion animation based on paper cut-out figures that Lione called "papermotion", claims to be Italy's first feature-length stop-motion animation film. Meetings, Bloody Meetings is a 1976 British comedy training film that stars John Cleese as a bumbling middle manager.  The film was written by John Cleese and Antony Jay, and was produced by Cleese's production company Video Arts.  They updated and rereleased the film again in 2012  with British comedian Will Smith starring as the central character in charge of a meeting.  John Cleese appears in the new version, this time in the role of the judge in the dream sequence. The Bemaraha woolly lemur ("Avahi cleesei"), also known as Cleese's woolly lemur, is a species of woolly lemur native to western Madagascar, named after John Cleese.  The scientist who discovered the species named it after Cleese, star of Monty Python, mainly because of Cleese's fondness for lemurs, as shown in "Operation Lemur With John Cleese" and "Fierce Creatures", and his efforts at protecting and preserving them.  The species was first discovered in 1990 by a team of scientists from Zurich University led by Urs Thalmann, but wasn't formally described as a species until November 11, 2005. "Oliver Cromwell" is a song recorded by Monty Python in 1980 but not released until 1989 where it featured on their compilation album "Monty Python Sings".  John Cleese, who wrote the lyric, originally debuted the song on February 2, 1969 in the radio show "I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again", where it was introduced as "The Ballad of Oliver Cromwell".  It is sung to Frédéric Chopin's "Heroic Polonaise", and documents the career of British statesman Oliver Cromwell, from his service as Member of Parliament (MP) for Huntingdon to his installation as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England.  The lead vocals, often heavily multi-tracked, are performed by John Cleese, with interjections by Eric Idle. "The Ministry of Silly Walks" is a sketch from the Monty Python comedy troupe's television show "Monty Python's Flying Circus", season 2, episode 1, which is entitled "Face the Press".  The episode first aired at some point in 1970.  A shortened version of the sketch was performed for "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl".  This sketch involves John Cleese as a bowler-hatted civil servant in a fictitious British government ministry responsible for developing silly walks through grants.  Cleese, throughout the sketch, walks in a variety of silly ways.  It is these various silly walks, more than the dialogue, that has earned the sketch its popularity.  Cleese has cited the physical comedy of Max Wall, probably in character as Professor Wallofski, as important to its conception. Fierce Creatures is a 1997 farcical comedy film.  While not literally a sequel, "Fierce Creatures" is a spiritual successor to the 1988 film "A Fish Called Wanda".  Both films star John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin.  "Fierce Creatures" was written by John Cleese, and directed by Robert Young and Fred Schepisi. There have been numerous on screen adaptations of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew".  The best known cinematic adaptations are Sam Taylor's 1929 "The Taming of the Shrew" and Franco Zeffirelli's 1967 "The Taming of the Shrew", both of which starred the most famous celebrity couples of their era; Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks in 1929 and Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in 1967.  On television, perhaps the most significant adaptation is the 1980 "BBC Television Shakespeare" version, directed by Jonathan Miller and starring John Cleese and Sarah Badel.
