And Now For Something Completely Different.
50 years ago TODAY - the First episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus on the 5th October, 1969 aired on Television, broadcasted by the BBC.
In all, 45 episodes were created over four series, from the 5th October 1969 to 5th December 1974, plus two episodes for German TV.
The series' theme song was the first segment of John Philip Sousa's The Liberty Bell, chosen because it was in the public domain and was free to use without charge.
The first episode was called "Whither Canada?" and the second "Sex and Violence" !
The third episode was called "How to Recognise Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away", also incidentally the longest title of any episode from the over 5 years. We're not going to tell you the name of all the episodes here but the shortest title was episode Number 25 (episode 12 of the 2nd series), simply called "Spam" and who could ever forget that episode!
In a memo sent in 1969, the BBC head of comedy seems to have lost his sense of humour. “Please will you have a word with the writers?” said Michael Mills. “I haven’t reacted to the funny titles that have appeared on the scripts so far. I hoped that they would cease of their own accord.”
The titles that irritated him included “Bunn Wackett Buzzard Stubble and Boot”, apparently a spoof legal firm, which came to be shortened to Bunwackett.
The show, meanwhile, had the working title The Circus.
Now, though, Mills had had enough: “The time has come when we must stop having peculiar titles and settle on one overall title … Please would you have words with them and try to produce something palatable?”
Following this intervention, a title was finally agreed upon: Monty Python’s Flying Circus. And on 19 September 1969, BBC North sent an invitation to journalists to go on location for the filming of the show at the Cow and Calf pub on Ilkley Moor.
They were promised “crazy antics” and “the first opportunity to see this new-style brand of late-night nutty comedy in action, and all its writer-stars: John Cleese, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and Michael Palin.” (As would often be the case, the animator Terry Gilliam was omitted, though he played many on-screen roles, and his brutal cartoons were the show’s signature innovation.)
The series stands out for its use of absurd situations, mixed with risqué and innuendo-laden humour, sight gags and observational sketches without punchlines.
The series also spawned successful careers for Cleese, Palin, Idle, Chapman, Jones and Gilliam after leaving the show.
There were also films such as, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", the "Life of Brian", and the first film "And Now for Something Completely Different"
With its original series' and being repeated ever since "Monty Pythons Flying Circus" remains one of the most watched comedy TV series in the World.
For giving us, "Spam", the "Ministry of Silly Walks", "The Dead Parrot", "The Lumberjack Song", "The Dirty Fork", "Upperclass Twit", "Nudge Nudge Wink Wink", "Only a Flesh Wound" and many many other sketches - a HUGE Thank you to Monty Python for 50 years of classic hilarious moments.

Maybe he go fed up trying to dig a hole in concrete slabs and if plums have the same effect on the animal as they do on me there would be no time to dig a hole

Nothing stops a determined brock
Foxes deliberately dump in prominent places but a badger won't where it's foraging
