    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Michael Palin, he was actually driving the car while wearing the pantomime horse outfit during the final sketch and that he could hardly see where he was going through the mask.
    • Goofs
      During the "Merchant Banker" sketch, a crew member's head is visible when Terry Jones falls through the trapdoor.
    • Quotes

      Merchant Banker: What is my incentive to give you the Pound?

      Mr Ford: Well, the incentive is to make the orphans happy.

      Merchant Banker: Happy? You quite sure you've got this right?

      Mr Ford: Yes, lots of people give me money.

      Merchant Banker: What, just like that?

      Mr Ford: Yes.

      Merchant Banker: Must be sick. Uh, I don't suppose you could give me a list of their names and addresses.

    • Crazy credits
      Since this episode opens with a sketch related to anagrams, the show is
      listed in the opening and closing titles as "Tony M. Nyphot's Flying
      Risccu". The closing titles further elaborate on this gag and are
      completely written in anagrams.
