Hi group,

The Spike Milligan cameo in 'Life of Brian' is well-recognised, but did 
  Spike Milligan *also* had a cameo role in 'Monty Python and the Holy 
Grail'?

There are two quick shots in the 'Burn the Witch' scene that look 
awfully like him.

The first shot is when the crowd of peasants are rushing towards 
Bedivere with the witch in tow. The Eric Idle peasant holding the sickle 
calls out, 'We've found a witch', and shortly afterwards, the Michael 
Palin peasant puts his face in the camera and says, 'We've got a witch'. 
  Almost imemdiately after that, we see a white-haired man in the crowd 
with shaving cream on his face.

The second shot is immediately after the witch has been placed onto the 
scales. There is a quick shot of the same white-heaired man with shaving 
cream on his face, framed between a youth with a hat and a man with a beard.

The shots are otherwise unimportant, and seem to be there precisely in 
order to serve as vehicles for a cameo. They look like Milligan, even 
underneath the shaving cream.

I can't find any previous discussion on this matter. Any thoughts?
