Class!!

Jijsaw

Watching this on arte as I'm in France, they're showing the first episode during the break

Welsh Megaman

I'll say it now during the intermission...

Mr. Palin is my favourite Python

Jijsaw

Chapman is my favourite I think followed by Palin, Cleese, Idle, Gilliam and finally Jones.

It's not doing it for me. Maybe it's not transferring from the stage to the television well (Bleeping out the punchlines doesn't help).

If it was an unknown troupe performing on RTE, this thread would be full of people ranting about how RTE can't do comedy.

I'm waiting for Dara to knock on Terry Jones's door, only for him to say 'NOW GO AWAY/P*** OFF!'

I say to him good riddance, the freeloading b*st*rd!

I must say the corpsing was hilarious; this is one of the few shows that you can have that happen and it won't ruin the scene.

I think it may be a feeling of "you have to be there" for me.....

I'm still ready to be convinced though....

I think the censorship is creating that sense of isolation for the tv viewers, but that should ease off now for the second half.

I saw 'Spamalot' in London when Warwick was in it, with Joe Pasquale

Great show

I must say, since the World Cup ended, I've really missed half-time analysis. This is very enjoyable.

Welsh Megaman

You can stop doing the funny voice now, Mr. Coogan

The_Morrigan

Is Steve Coogan drunk? He keeps slurring words...

That was on here too, Phill Jupitus and Todd Carthy were in it, I enjoyed it.

I was sitting behind Gay Byrne and Kathleen Watkins. I wouldn't have had them down as Monty Python fans, but he did have most of them on the LLS at one time or another.

Welsh Megaman

It's the guy from D:Ream!!

Welsh Megaman

Yay...swearing!

They should have spent the last 10 minutes showing us the bits they bleeped out before 9pm

Or a bit of both

Am loving it, even the unfunny bits

Welsh Megaman

It's a bit like a Madonna concert now.....!!

Welsh Megaman

You're right, it's some guy :pac:

Mike Myers. That's bizarre.

The_Morrigan

I'd say comedians were queuing up to get in on this show.
