For those of you who are old enough, you might remember Monty Python’s Flying Circus. It was incredibly popular here in Canada and my dad was a dedicated viewer of that show. I have very fond memories of watching it with him and enjoying how much he enjoyed it. And Now for Something Completely Different was based on Python, featuring sketches from its first two seasons.
The comedian John Cleese was usually shown wearing a tuxedo and in a serious voice saying something like “and now for something completely different: a man with his brother’s toothbrush up his nose” or other inane or foolish statement. This might be followed a shot of a man seated behind a desk in a business office and wearing a pink bikini. Definitely off-the-wall stuff and definitely very British, too.
So in honour of Monty, here’s something completely different. Not comedic, I’m afraid, but good to see, I think; a few scenes from last summer and definitely something completely different from what I’ve been posting!
… all coming soon to a spring and summer near you.
Happy Monday.

They are great photos and about Monty Python’s Flying Circus, I watched that as a kid as well. Very entertaining.

Thank you, Thomas. Yes, it was a lot of off-the-wall fun and even today can be still quite funny. Cheers.

That’s my husband’s kind of humour, too, Lynette, and I still get a giggle out of some of the sketches. It doesn’t feel much like Spring here yet, but it soon will xx

I agree that some of it has aged well. My dad has been gone for a long time now, but I always remember how much he enjoyed that show. We have about 6-7° as daily highs right now which is a bit more than usual for January so we do have some plants starting to awaken. I hope we don’t get slammed by a cold snap later on!

My husband quotes from this all the time and I feel as if I’ve seen the programs! Ah, lovely with the summery photos – here the snowdrops are soon out!

My dad and older brother used to watch Flying Circus too, so when it continued as reruns, I often watched. Nothing can compete with their silliness! Maggie

I loved MPFC, but Patty was not usually a fan of this humour. But in one NZ city, we discovered a Silly Walks sign, so played along. As to you summer posts Lynette, always welcome. Summer is coming and may it be a good one. Happy Monday. Allan
