Monty Python - Salad Days (HD and subtitled)
I remember going to see this bright-young-things show 'Salad Days' when I was quite young; I was taken by a kindly Aunt and Uncle.
The only bits I really remember are the incidental music, and the song 'We're looking for a piano'. This little bit of tomfoolery from the Python boys would have made the original show considerably more interesting!
It's amazing how they still can make us (or me anyway) laugh out loud. Funnily enough, I have only just discovered that John Cleese lives in Bath (Royal Crescent) for about half the year.
Hi Cro, how good that you blogged this!!! Bob and I are away and we took the laptop as I had some work to do(have not had time!) lol but one of our families all time favourites was The Life of Brian and i played these little bits for Bob yesterday and we cracked up laughing,it was so timely as we are 8 hours from home with Bobs Mum and sister as his sister faces her breast removal next week and so she also had such a laugh.I am not really sure if bloggers realise that the touch so many with simple blogs that just seem to "touch" us.Thank you Cro as you made some happy moments and recolections and discussions of our fav old shows.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
I apologise for my invisible FIRST YouTube effort (previous posting). I'll probably get the hang of it in time!

ReplyDeleteHello:
ReplyDeleteSuper. This revives memories of Monty Python, legends in their own lifetimes, who certainly could have shaken up the original Salad Days.
Happily this video did work!
So funny...and fun!!
ReplyDeleteUsed to watch this show obsessivly. Love this kind of humor.
ReplyDeleteNow I watch Benny HIll every Saturday because a local station shows back-to-back episodes. Talk about funny, but oh my, what a dirty mind he had!
