    • Trivia
      According to John Cleese, the troupe went to tour the Dachau concentration camp after filming one day. When they arrived, however, they were told that the camp was closed for the evening, so they wouldn't be allowed in. Graham Chapman suggested, "Tell them we're Jewish."

      News Anchor: What is it with all these older men chasing fit young women? Are they eating too much fresh fruit?

    What a great show

    Monty Python came to Germany to write some sketches for the German and Austrian TV and it became one of the best shows of them ever. Alfred Biolek, a forward looking man, did a great job by inviting them.

    My absolutely favourite scene is the 100 meter final of the men without any sense of direction. The lumberjack song is also great.

    I'm sure it was hard for them to speak "German" but they didn't fail. So if you have the chance to watch the show, do it.
