Behind the show.

John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Marty Feldman write and perform this 1967 British sketch series, with Aimi MacDonald appearing as its presenter. Produced by David Frost, it combines verbal absurdity, physical comedy, and playful attacks on conventional television. The show is an important early meeting point for performers who helped shape Monty Python and The Goodies.

A different show.
A whole new rabbit hole.
