The gong was in a show where two people talked, avoiding saying 'yes' and 'no' and the game was trying to get the opponent to say it. Take Your Pick it was called.
Lawyers and judges do still wear wigs in court. There was a quiz show in the 70's where if the host tricked you into saying yes or no, he banged a gong and you lost.
I was looking at the lack of cars in the street. I was born in 1962 (= old fart) and I remember the only vehicle parked in our road was a van belonging to a guy who owned a furniture shop. Noone else had a car Now there's 2 or 3 cars per household and you can't find a bloody parking space. 😂😂😂 ✌️❤️🇬🇧
welcome to america. remember the song by Rammstein - "Amerika?" We're all living in America. fast food, parking lots, traffic jams, car jackings, pollution, cultural deterioration, corporate corruption, gun worship, violence, mass shootings. all things america has contributed to the world! YOU'RE ALL LIVING IN AMERICA!
Thanks for sharing once more Megan. MP in those days (1970) were almost incapable of writing a bad sketch. In fact if every member wasn't falling about at script run-throughs they wouldn't use it. As you're probably aware, the distinctive animation is by Terry Gilliam, the group's only American, who went on to become an auteur/director of some note (Time Bandits, 12 Monkeys, Brazil, The Fisher King, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and more), directing actors of the calibre of Bruce Willis, Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Sean Connery and Brad Pitt, to name a few.. But he never used this style of cut-out animation again and it remains unique to Python. At last the weather's warning up. Are we to look forward to more of your engaging little travelogues?
Python had a very dada-esque approach to language and construction. One of their heroes was the late Spike Milligan, who pioneered a similar technique on radio in the 1950s and subsequently on TV in the late 1960s. To the point, in fact, where a telephone conversation arose between Terry Jones and John Cleese (who, otherwise, seldom saw eye to eye) on the topic of 'Weren't WE going to do that?'
Happy Saturday & Good morning, Megan. Love ❤️ your reactions towards Monty Python, which was such a hilarious 😂 TV show years ago! You have a beautiful smile always & have a lovely weekend!
I think what's impressive about Britain since this time is, no matter how different certain things have become, the streets often don't look dissimilar. Unless they're just bulldozing perfectly decent housing stock to put up inferior boxes, which is happening in many parts.
There is an 'o' in Python so the Brits saying 'Pyth'n' as if it doesn't exist shouldn't affect anyone else. In any case, I won't be buying this record as it is scratched.
The earlier way you were pronouncing Python isn't incorrect; it was just an American/Canadian pronunciation of the word. The British pronunciation isn't the only correct pronunciation.
Thank you for making the effort to pronounce Monty Python correctly, rather than the way most of our transatlantic cousins say it: "Monny PyTHONNNNNNN!" Much appreciated.
The foghorn fart is the only time I've seen John Cleese crack on camera!
When Michael Palin speaks in the witness box for the first time he is imitating Derek Nimmo - don't know why, but I don't suppose that matters.
Probably the only impression he could do and he wanted an opportunity to do it.

@MarkGodfrey73 Are you sure?
@@Poliss95He's right.
It was called the 'yes no interlude' from take your pick.

Thanks Falcom! Have a great weekend :)
Notice how empty the streets were of cars.

thanks Megan enjoy your Saturday night.
I did thank you!! I hope you enjoyed yours :)
So random. So well done. So funny.
Not bothered by how you pronounce python. Just great to see you discovering all this great comedy.
actual ankle ..
If you want to pronounce "Python" really and truly accurately to the original show, then the correct pronunciation is ... either. They used both.
I think what's impressive about Britain since this time is, no matter how different certain things have become, the streets often don't look dissimilar. Unless they're just bulldozing perfectly decent housing stock to put up inferior boxes, which is happening in many parts.

Your original pronunciation is correct: Py-thahn.
That's how it's pronounced in the show's opening credits.
An American here. Pronounce things however you like, WE DO! :)

You're welcome! :)
...that sketch was "not funny" at all.
You didn't find 'it funny' that's all.
The end was cut off
At the time I used to love this show but now I think it's puerile rubbish. How I ever though it funny I will never know.
So sorry about your illness.
It's a rare indicator of epilepsy. Also an occasional effect of covid.
