Bit of a Python theme on TV this evening...There's a showing of Monty Pythons 'The Life of Brian' on Ch.4 tonight, at 21:00. Preceding it is an hour long Documentary about the Films perceived Controversial interpretation throughout the Religious world.

Undisputed Number one Comedy film ever for my money and one i never tire of watching.

This was one of Phil's favourite films and he bought it before he passed away, it was his sense of humour allover. For a while he didn't dare watch it in case he might not get through the Pearly Gates, hence the "Controversial" issues. But I remember well listening to him laughing a sound and sight I found more pleasurable than watching the film itself. Just hope God didn't make a biggus dickus and still let him in!

Never seen this. Might have to someday.

Top man phil    (that is one funny sketch though!)     (Hope you and the family are coping through it all ok Karen - best of wishes to you all for the coming year.)

I watched it last night. I had never seen it before but my other half has seen it loads of times. I thought some parts of it where a bit strange, but I found it very funny. Well worth a look.

HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Well, we're-- we're supposed to haggle.
BRIAN:
No, no. I've got to get--
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
What do you mean, 'no, no, no'?
BRIAN:
I haven't time. I've got--
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Well, give it back, then.
BRIAN:
No, no, no. I just paid you.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Burt!
BURT:
Yeah?
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
This bloke won't haggle.
BURT:
Won't haggle?!
BRIAN:
All right. Do we have to?
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Now, look. I want twenty for that.
BRIAN:
I-- I just gave you twenty.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Now, are you telling me that's not worth twenty shekels?
BRIAN:
No.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Look at it. Feel the quality. That's none of your goat.
BRIAN:
All right. I'll give you nineteen then.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
No, no, no. Come on. Do it properly.
BRIAN:
What?
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Haggle properly. This isn't worth nineteen.
BRIAN:
Well, you just said it was worth twenty.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Ohh, dear. Ohh, dear. Come on. Haggle.
BRIAN:
Huh. All right. I'll give you ten.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
That's more like it. Ten?! Are you trying to insult me?! Me, with a poor dying grandmother?! Ten?!
BRIAN:
All right. I'll give you eleven.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Now you're gettin' it. Eleven?! Did I hear you right?! Eleven?! This cost me twelve. You want to ruin me?!
BRIAN:
Seventeen?
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
No, no, no, no. Seventeen.
BRIAN:
Eighteen?
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
No, no. You go to fourteen now.
BRIAN:
All right. I'll give you fourteen.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Fourteen?! Are you joking?!
BRIAN:
That's what you told me to say.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Ohh, dear.
BRIAN:
Ohh, tell me what to say. Please!
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Offer me fourteen.
BRIAN:
I'll give you fourteen.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
He's offering me fourteen for this!
BRIAN:
Fifteen!
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Seventeen. My last word. I won't take a penny less, or strike me dead.
BRIAN:
Sixteen.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Done. Nice to do business with you.
BRIAN:
Huh.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Tell you what. I'll throw you in this as well.
BRIAN:
I don't want it, but thanks.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Burt!
BURT:
Yeah?
BRIAN:
All right! All right! All right!
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Now, where's the sixteen you owe me?
BRIAN:
I just gave you twenty.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Oh, yeah. That's right. That's four I owe you, then.
BRIAN:
Well, that's all right. That's fine. That's fine.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
No. Hang on. I've got it here somewhere.
BRIAN:
That's all right. That's four for the gourd.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Four? For this gourd? Four?! Look at it. It's worth ten if it's worth a shekel.
BRIAN:
But you just gave it to me for nothing.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
Yes, but it's worth ten!
BRIAN:
All right. All right.
HARRY THE HAGGLER:
No, no, no, no. It's not worth ten. You're supposed to argue, 'Ten for that? You must be mad!' Ohh, well. [sniff] One born every minute.

you kinda have to see it but one top film

a film i never tire of watching, fantastic comedy and every line in the film is a soundbite in its own right, a laugh out loud film.

but if it wasnt for george harrison the film would never have been made, all the production companies wouldnt touch it until harrison came along with Handmade Films and gave the backing

[red37]

yeah, did anyone spot George in one of the crowd scenes....    He looked quite keen to get out the way!

i have to be honest ive watched this about 17 times now..and each and every time something new comes up to laugh at. The script is outrageously funny...The characters are hilarious. And you can never tire of watching Palin trying to keep a 'stwaight' face in the palace scene... top film!

What a complete and utter k.nob, Muggeridge and his mouldy muntering ministers with a penchant for marmite came across as... "Dont worry..you'll get your 30 pieces of silver...."

DIDNT THEY JUST!!!

"they've got lumps of it..round the back!
