Monty Python's Flying Circus: Mr. and Mrs. Brian Norris's Ford Popular (1970)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

Using archeological evidence, the titular Mr. Norris attempts to prove that the residents of Hounslow may have emigrated from Surbiton. The hosts of the kiddie show "How to Do It" demonstrate how to cure every disease known to man, and incidentally how to play the flute. "Farming Club" presents the life of Tchaikovsky, using a huge model of the composer's body. The star of Chekhov's The Seagull loses enough weight to appear in a miniature production of The Great Escape. Two men perform the traditional Fish-Slapping Dance, followed by the evacuation of the Titanic, with the crew adopting a variety of costumes -- Indians, spacemen, Flemish Merchants -- to qualify for entering the lifeboats. Two Famous People show up just in time for the closing credits, while Julia Breck also makes a fleeting appearance. "Mr. and Mrs. Brian Norris' Ford Popular" first aired October 26, 1972. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
