Monty Python's Flying Circus: Monty Python Bloeden fur Deutschland (1973)

Synopsis of Monty Python's Flying Circus: Monty Python Bloeden fur Deutschland

As they had done in the summer of 1972, the cast of Monty Python's Flying Circus appeared on a 50-minute special for German television in October of 1973. Highlights of "Monty Python Bloeden fur Deutschland" include a visit with Superbutcher!, a profile of famed mice and fish preserver Frank Tutankhamun, a hearing-aid sketch, a fairy story about Happy Valley's King Otto ("Ya de buckety rum ting poo") and Princess Mitzi Gaynor...and best of all, the "International Philosophy Tournament," featuring German and Greek Philosophers squaring off in a football game (Nietzche was disqualified for arguing with referee Confucius). Unlike the first German "Python" special, this one received a British TV screening on BBC2. Excerpts of "Monty Python Bloeden fur Deutschland" appeared in America, courtesy of the Comedy Central cable network, some 25 years after the original telecast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
