BEYOND PYTHON | Sir Michael Palin & Rob Brydon Live 

The first clip would have been the Frenchmen and the flying sheep, from the first Python episode to be recorded (which was transmitted second) - hence the references to the stick-on moustaches and Brian Trubshaw (Vive Brian, wherever you are) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QpbGPLEWhj8.html

That first one comes from "Do Not Adjust Your Set".

The Twice a Fortnight clip should be one of these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-58afjsMD794.htmlsi=nnk2sSVQYVgiJyWq

Thanks for finding the clips and sharing them!

How sad he was born on a continent that does not support humour. Somehow he survived it all.

He most certainly is a real Legend! We hope you enjoyed the show

"I remember smoking Bristols ..."

Absolutely agree. Ripping Yarns is very underrated. Feels like how Python should and could have developed.

The school puma…

The Testing of Eric Olthwaite……..a brand new Shovel🤣

I’ve just rediscovered Ripping Yarns on RU-vid. But I remember each episode. And how well it keeps its freshness. Wonderful post-Python. And you’re right. Ripping Yarns should have been mentioned for its all round dramatic and comedic excellence. I’m 62 and Sir Michael is an inspiration. I saw Monty Python live at Drury Lane in 1975.

I can't believe no-one's asked you what you did to make Graham Chapman laugh! Go on fella, spill the beans.

@@lpsp442 Thanks for asking, as it really is one of my favorite stories. It was the early 80s, and I was maybe 20 years old, and I was working spotlights and pre-concert cable gaffing at a little community college just outside of Chicago, a job that didn't pay much but which allowed me to meet and work with people as diverse as Muddy Waters and the Psychedelic Furs...and many, many more. So, Graham was conducting a speaking tour after he had finally sobered up, and the first time I made him (very involuntarily) laugh was right after the show, when he and his small entourage were leaving the venue at the same time I was, and I just couldn't help but break into Cleese's "whereupon I curtailed my Walpoling activities and sallied forth in search of cheesy comestibles" speech, whereupon Graham chuckled and turned around, saying, "Who is that lunatic with the terrible British accent?" Turns out that he was actually curious enough to ask one of his facilitators to find me and invite me to an after party he was attending. When I arrived shortly thereafter, I found that the great man was already ensconced behind a chess table, in front of which a queue was already forming. Seizing my chance at actually speaking to him one on one, I immediately jumped in line. Within just a few minutes, the two people in front of me were easily dispatched and it was my turn. Even before the first move he smiled and said, "So you're the Python loonie who made me laugh after that grim affair." Smiling to break my jaws, I of course said, "It's a fair cop, guv'nor," which elicited yet another smile. But then, maybe 3 moves in, Chapman sat back in his chair, relit his pipe and said, "You don't really play chess, do you?" At which point it was my turn to so heartily laugh that it actually affected Graham, who joined me in my delirium. We chatted for a few more moments about me, of all things, all the while pretending to play chess, until he finally said, "Good luck to you, young man. You've managed to make me laugh, which doesn't happen every day, but I fear that the natives in this silly line have grown restive." Taking my cue, I thanked him for his patience and sallied forth in search of other comestibles. The whole exchange only took a few ticks off the clock of my inexplicably long life, but it has stayed with me, indelibly, all these years.

I've got 2 Python books he wrote a dedication to me in. I wish I could frame them.

I'd have missed my train. You don't walk out on a Python. 🙂

​@@Elwaves2925Say that to John Cleese's wife!

@@matthewperris Which wife? Oh yeah, it's all of them. 😁

"Formica with a place for Michael"?

He most certainly is! 👏

i agree but i can understand why they did it . when it comes to you tube the BBC are fierce defenders of copyright . i lost my first account here as they made 10 copyright claims against me as i had 10 clips of their radio show im sorry i haven't a clue on it . i have never and will never try to make money off someone else work . . to get back on point the slapstick festival had permission to show the clips in the theatre but may not have been able to get permission to post the python clips on you tube

@@Fcutdlady It doesn't make sense to me as they were only short.

@@petermetcalfe6722 The Beeb doesn't believe in fair use.

@@Elwaves2925 Clearly not.

​@@Elwaves2925Lol #OverlyEntitled

I hear Sarah Palin is available...

@@KenLieck 🤢

I'm guessing it's a RU-vid copyright thing. They aren't even clips, a few frames really. Bit of a shame but there it is.

We apologise that the clips had to be removed due to copyright restrictions

Its unbelievably good and brilliant

We apologise that the clips had to be removed. If some of the clips weren’t removed then the video couldn’t be permitted for release on RU-vid. Thank you for your understanding

You haven't seen _The Trip_ ?

No thanks Bryson is bad enough

I think this was from February, a few months before her passing

Come on. How old are you? You live in the world don’t you?

The clips are copyrighted so the yootoob video would get flagged and taken down. And it's hardly "a waste of time" to _merely_ get an hour of Palin talking about his career and experiences.

“schiesse” isn’t a word.

@@bill-fk7tl No, it isn’t.

@@bill-fk7tl If you took German in college, then you would know ‘ie’ makes an “ee” sound, while ‘ei’ sounds like “eye”. *That* would be the one you want. It’s also a noun, which needs an upper case initial. So, I guess, Google translate is wrong. Who’d have thought?

@@adamtzsch What is your mother effing problem I’m no German expert Never said I was So if you are gd German native speaker then tell my little people in my first and second year one credit classmates were wrong. Stop trying to put us in a concentration camp. Join the woke nazis already then

It wasn’t a documentary.

It's a comedy film.
