Are you okay? ,-)”
Nice one centurion, like it, like it.
his anyone going to post Spam, Spam, Spam and eggs.
Voice Over: Already Neutron - who, you will remember, is infinitely the most dangerous man in the world, he really is - was gathering allies together.Mr Neutron: Try having an omelette for your evening meal... perhaps with yogurt and grapefruit.
Mr Smailes: Oh, I've tried that ... I once got down to fifty-six stone. But I couldn't stay like that. I used to take potatoes wherever I went. I used to go to the cinema with three hundredweight of King Edwards, I'd eat 'em all before I got out of the toilet. I had to go on to bread.
Mr Neutron: What about salad?
Mr Smailes: Teddy Salad?
Mr Neutron: No, no, no - salad - as in lettuces, radishes, cucumber...
I am guffawing out loud reading the posts!!
First Man (Terry Jones): Er, excuse me, I want to get married.
Registrar (Eric Idle): I’m afraid I’m already married, sir.
First Man: Er, no, no. I just want to get married.
Registrar: I could get a divorce, I suppose, but it’ll be a bit of a wrench.
First Man: Er, no, no. That wouldn’t be necessary because...
Registrar: You see, would you come to my place or should I have to come to yours, because I’ve just got a big mortgage.
First Man: No, no, I want to get married here.
Registrar: Oh dear. I had my heart set on a church wedding.
First Man: Look, I just want you to marry me... to...
Registrar: I want to marry you too sir, but it’s not as simple as that. You sure you want to get married?
First Man: Yes. I want to get married very quickly.
Registrar: Suits me, sir. Suits me.
First Man: I don’t want to marry you!
Registrar: There is such a thing as breach of promise, sir.
First Man: Look, I just want you to act as registrar and marry me.
Registrar: I will marry you sir, but please make up your mind. Please don’t trifle with my affections.
First Man: I’m sorry, but...
Registrar: That’s all right, sir. I forgive you. Lovers’ tiff. But you’re not the first person to ask me today. I’ve turned down several people already.
First Man: Look, I’m already engaged.
Registrar: (agreeing and thinking) Yes, and I’m already married. Still we’ll get round it.
Second Man (Michael Palin): Good morning. I want to get married.
Registrar: I’m afraid I’m already marrying this gentleman, sir.
Second Man: Well, can I get married after him?
Registrar: Well, divorce isn’t as quick as that, sir. Still, if you’re keen.
Third Man (Graham Chapman): I want to get married, please.
Registrar: Heavens, it’s my lucky day, isn’t it? All right, but you’ll have to wait until I’ve married these two, sir.
Third Man: What, those two getting married... Nigel What are you doing marrying him?
Registrar: He’s marrying me first, sir.
Third Man: He’s engaged to me.
Fourth Man (John Cleese): Come on, Henry.
Registrar: Blimey, the wife.
Second Man: Will you marry me?
Fourth Man: I’m already married.
(Cut to a photo of all five of them standing happily outside a house.)
Voice Over (Terry Jones): Well, things turned out all right in the end, but you musn’t ask how ‘cos it’s naughty. They’re all married and living quite well in a council estate near Dulwich.
It’s just as well that happened. You would have killed yourself if Google Translate worked this time.

Would Monsieur like an after-dinner mint?
Oh, but sir, its only a WAFER-thin!
Ni!

Mrs S.C.U.M. - I am the most powerful man in the universe!
Big game insect hunting.
“The mosquito’s a clever little bastard. You can track him for days and days until you really get to know him like a friend. He knows you’re there, and you know he’s there. It’s a game of wits. You hate him, then you respect him, then you kill him.”
Hank: Well, I follow the moth in the helicopter to lure it away from the flowers, and then Roy comes along in the Lockheed Starfighter and attacks it with air-to-air missiles.
Roy: A lot of people have asked us why we don’t use fly spray. Well, where’s the sport in that?

A memo sent between senior executives reveals that the first episode achieved 1.5 million viewers with an audience appreciation (based on a small number of viewers paid to value what they watched) of 45 (out of 100). In comparison, the Rolf Harris Show (though in a primetime slot, and with a presenter then seen as a lovable family entertainer, rather than the convicted sex offender he later became) attracted 11 million viewers and a 64 enjoyment score.
They were way ahead of the curve here.
I will say though, it’s a darned shame what they did to Benny Hill, practically a persona non grata now, I think he died of a broken heart.
His shows are still brilliant.
I also enjoyed “Dave Allen at Large”
Yes, but there were moments of genius. Like in Life of Brian, the People’s Front of Judea were woke 40 years early. Including a transsexual who holds up the committee until “her” preferred pronoun is used
