A recurring sketch satirizing the Spanish Inquisition that is predicated on someone exclaiming "I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition!" The sketch features Cardinal Ximénez and his assistants Cardinal Biggles and Cardinal Fang bursting in whenever this line is uttered. They attempt to torture confessions from heretics using absurdly ineffective methods like soft cushions and a comfy chair. The sketch is notable for the famous catchphrase "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" The final instance culminates with the Inquisitors racing to the Old Bailey on a double-decker bus to the tune of "Devil's Galop" by Charles Williams, only to arrive as the episode's credits end.
