I don't understand the hostility either. I thought it would be quite a 
simple question about Monty Python. I didn't expect a kind of Spanish 
inquisition!

I'm watching the series from start to finish, and I'm liking series 2 much 
better than series one. And the studio audience seems to be much more "in" 
on the whole show.
I should be up to series 3 in the next couple of days, and i can't wait to 
see if there's a noticeable "Jumping the Shark" point before series 4 
starts.

I love the job interview sketch... 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! zero... 
goodniiiiightdingdingding. I've had a few job interviews just like that!


Also i just found the 1948 Four Yorkshiremen "Luxury!" sketch in it's most 
original form.
