In a series of sketches and animations, the Pythons recount scenes from the Grail legend in which the knights forsake their chorus line can-can dancing in Camelot for a higher aim. Typically, the Pythons set-up a 'historical' tale which is really a take on the modern world. Memorable scenes, like Graham Chapman's King Arthur battling with John Cleese's Black Knight until the latter is reduced limb by limb down to a speaking stump of a torso, capture both the hilarity and grotesque nature of brutality. In scene after scene King Arthur's men are led a merry chase through the countryside, encountering life on many different social levels. This screenplay edition contains just the script and is supplemented by stills from the film.

    Light, humerous, and entertaining.

    So the Headmaster, aka "The Fish" decides it would be best to separate them. Bruno must now room with ghoulish Elmer Dimsdale, plus his plants, goldfish, and ants.

And the skunk is only the beginning....

    The strangest part? Practically everyone answered, leaving Toth with a hilarious collection of outlandish correspondence unmatched in the history of American letters. The Lazlo Letters contains nearly 100 notes to public figures, including then-President Nixon, Vice President Ford ("I've been Vice President of a lot of organizations myself, so I know how you feel."), Bebe Rebozo, Lester Maddox, Earl Butz, and America's top business leaders. The replies, says the author, "classic examples of American politeness."In an on-going correspondence with the White House, Toth suggests everything from ridiculously corny jokes for the President to use, to a campaign song sung to the tune of "Tea for Two." He asks the president of a bubble bath company just how to use the product, as the packaging instructions specifically state to "keep dry." "No matter how absurd my letter was, no matter how much I ranted and raved, they always answered," reports the author. "Many of these replies are beautiful examples of pure public relations nonsense." One is not: columnist James Kilpatrick has a lone sentiment for Toth-"Nuts to You!" 247,000 copies in print.

    A very funny show about some unlikely subjects, including a one-legged actor applying for the role of Tarzan, an in-depth interview with an unimpressed shepherd who witnessed the Nativity, and a French singer who misunderstands an Anglo-Saxon vulgarity and composes a song around it.

    

    

    Professor Branestawm is in top inventive form once more - and it's hardly his fault if his helpful doglike handbag takes to shoplifting, or his self-elevating flowerbeds biff people on the nose when they bend to sniff the flowers!

    At no time have parents had a greater arsenal of child-rearing manuals and educational tools at their disposal, and yet the generation gap still yawns and the huge questions continue to go unanswered. Has the permissive age helped us to live with our children? Do we, even now, know who they are?Here is Thelwell's answer - a book devoted solely to the children. Heedless of personal danger, he has studied them in their natural environment and fearlessly interpreted for us the mysteries and rituals of the widespread but exclusive sub-race - their suspicion of grown-ups, their strange love of animals, their internecine struggles; showing how, if we cannot always win their affection, we may at least survive the encounter.Whether you love children or hate them, whether you are parent or relative, friend or foe, here is your opportunity to learn - and laugh. You may never be a child again, but Thelwell's Brat Race offers a vivid reminder of what the joys of childhood and the agonies of parenthood are all about.
