Farced Perspective

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!

Nathan and Ben lounge in the Cardiff Rooms, Lybia, and trace this episode's running references to masculinity, plastic explosives, fresh fruit, interruptions, and whether those teeth (yes, teeth), in ancient times, walked over England's mountains green.

Nathan and Ben muse on pedagogy, repetition, and other arboreal aspects of a town full of Supermen, dirty cutlery, and a spot of innuendo down at the pub, if you know what I mean. Whoooooa, eh?

Nathan and Ben discuss the difference between "avine" and "ovine" aviation, a man with three buttocks, and men who secretly want to be mice, while unpacking the impact of a classic French primer.

Nathan and Ben summarize Proust Python's origins and talk about Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson, Picasso painting while riding a bicycle, and The Funniest Joke in the World.
