Whither Canada?

I was introduced to the TV series of Monty Python back in the 1980's when they were showing repeats on BBC2 on Say nights. The only reason that I started watching them was because I was staying up to watch the season of horror films that followed, and at first I just didn't get it. But that soon changed and I became hooked. I recently bought many of the series on VHS and started from the beginning with episode 1 of series 1. The World's Funniest Joke, absolutely genius. And the evening Italian language class to a bunch of Italians, brilliant. Terry Gilliam and his crazy animation. This was a fantastic start and things were only to get better.
