Nathan and Ben come to the end of the first series of the Flying Circus, weigh the episode's anarchic nature, tally its in-jokes, and other phrases, man. Money isn't real, but their hiatus until the next episode will be. There will now be a whopping great intermission.

Nathan and Ben heed the legend of the Sloan Rangers and peer into the inherited tendencies of the landed gentry. As they weigh the tension of delaying the expectations of an obvious laugh, does that mean they're falling for stalling? Or mauling for trawling, or squalling while zalling? "Zalling"? Is that even a word?

Nathan and Ben offer context on celebrity boutiques and the internal lives of Python's characters, while speculating on editing and group dynamics. And a quiz on Gumbies is deadly enough to qualify for the Batley Townswomen's Guild historical re-enactments.

Nathan and Ben delve into the episode's running question: is this satire or "zany madcap humour", or does one change to the other as references fade from currency? Can they find an answer by looking at daredevil stunts, wooden hosts, and the censoring of lurid libraries?

Nathan and Ben try to figure out how to pronounce "Brian Equatol" and whether his permissiveness is a secret foil for repression or just delicious raunch.  They also still are finding Python legacy firsts this late in the series, and lamenting their utter unfamiliarity with Spanish. 

Nathan and Ben reminisce about performing the Parrot Sketch in high school and where it fits into Python's notoriety repertoire. They also try to define the essence of the word "silly" and determine if silly is always funny.

Nathan and Ben discuss the statistical probability of different nationalities winning at tennis and the relative distances across both galaxies and countries. Somehow all of this connects to camel-spotting, custards, controlling your own destinies, and creatures from another planet. Listen... IF YOU DARE!

Nathan and Ben discuss the silent women and loud racism in this episode, and whether the audible crunching of the finest, baby dew-picked frogs is better live or recorded. 

Nathan and Ben go off on tangents about meeting the Pythons in the wild, sped-up film, silent movie techniques, Peanuts, and police corruption. They also occasionally talk about sketches and moments, and tweak the Monty Python Minute.

The next episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus was delayed for two weeks, fifty years ago, so Nathan and Ben bring you a minisode about the programmes that aired its place in the interim.  Tune back in on November 16, when Python is restored to its time slot!
