Sharp-minded villagers deduce that a young woman is a witch because she is made of wood.

Stuff! Nonsense! Chop-logic!

She has to weigh the same as a duck!

Besides, she turned me into a newt!

"Dennis the Peasant" is one of the funniest scenes ever filmed anywhere, and very well done indeed, with Michael Palin nailing it as Dennis.

Knights of Camelot: [singing] We're knights of the Round Table,
we dance whene'er we're able.
We do routines and chorus scenes with footwork impec-cable,
We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and Spam a lot.
We're knights of the Round Table, our shows are for-mi-dable.
But many times we're given rhymes that are quite un-sing-able,
We're opera mad in Camelot, we sing from the diaphragm a lot.
In war we're tough and able, Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable.
Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable
It's a busy life in Camelot
[solo] Knights of Camelot: I have to push the pram a lot.
