Monty Python: Bignosed Sculptor

I must have overlooked it then. What was the story exactly?

It could refer to Graham as the "bus conductor" singing

"Tonight,
Tonight,
I'm getting pissed tonight."

That was actually edited out of the initial broadcasts here in the States, but when the reruns started up in the 1980s, that line was back in.

How bally interesting. I don't recall that moment at all! I'll have to check me tape later on. It is a bit of a mind-boggler the amount of alternate versions that exist.

Now, did we ever establish there is a broadcast quality version of "Choreographed Party Political Broadcast"?

Several times actually. Each time David M. confessed to the same result that he had one recording, but unfortunately with a pledge phone number on it.

Not much information on the MC, but it sounds pretty definate...

Quote: "This year's Missing Believed Wiped is scheduled for Saturday December 2nd and - although the final line-up is still to be finalised - the good news is that we will have Out of the Trees (the archive has managed to coax a usuable copy from the fragile tape we were given), will probably show Level 7 the Cartier OOTU, Patrick McGoohan in a episode of Rendezvous, another admag, and hopefully Studio 64 The Crunch by Nigel Kneale. "

I recall one of the actors having a tape, yes. Pity, people like Koen and me would have to jump the channel to see it... perhaps it will somehow make it to DVD.

Cheers, Spiny. Was never sure of the outcome, as I must have missed the relevant threads... and now I have seen it with mine own eyes.
