Dr. Who aside, did anyone else catch the Monty Python specials on Wednesday? Favorite sketches picked by the Pythoners that wrote them, with cool new background info. For instance, I knew Chapman was gay, but he was a pretty big alcoholic according to his friends. Two new eps next week.
And as a side note, anyone else see the big chimpanzee heads in Toys R Us? $160 for a remote monkey bust? I'm waiting for 75% off to rip the skin off of one and make something new.
Yeah, I saw the one on Graham Chapman. Not only was he an alcoholic...he was a man whore! I can't believe how much they gay bashed. Even after they found out Chapman was gay. I mean, it wasn't vicious bashing, but they sure had their fun with them!
I liked when they described Chapman as a straight gay. He didn't like the "queenie" types. LOL!
I was really pissed off that I missed that... [img]mad.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
Damn, I missed them. What channel was it?
PBS, and I think one of those Chicago cable stations also ran it. Wednesday night at 9-11, one hour per Python, they did Idle and Chapman so far.
I saw once a special with Steve Martin as host. He showed some of the best moments in the series and movies...
At the end, he opened a closet and they were asking to get out...

I've known since the 80s that Chapman was gay. They didn't hide it...but they didn't advertise it either.
Bring back The Young Ones !

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">They still run it on PBS here... in fact, they ran an episode after the Monty Python block. Now the second series of AYBS, where they bought a hostel in the country... that was not very good.Quote:

I still watch AYBS every chance I get.
love the show.
I never heard of a 2nd series either.
and I loved the Young Ones.
fans of that show should see Bad News...
some of the same cast.
kinda like Spinal Tap, but better.
and British.
I found some details about the second series. The first one ran for 10 seasons (72-85), 69 episodes, and Are You Being Served Again ran for three seasons, only 12 episodes, in the nineties. So I probably caught the first running of the second series, and it may never have been shown again here.
