    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      During the scene in which the heavily bandaged Njorl is on trial, there is a loud thud from off screen followed by a roar of laughter from the studio audience. What the cameras didn't pick up was the bandaged actor being replaced with a dummy for the end of the sketch and, in the process, falling over backward. Michael Palin, who IS on camera at the time, visibly stifles laughter as he delivers his lines.
    • Goofs
      When the real Njorl is replaced off-screen with a dummy (in preparation for a joke later in the sketch), there is a loud thud accompanying whatever the audience is laughing at off-screen, and the police officer giving testimony (Michael Palin), as well as the officers behind him, can be seen stifling their laughter.
