Monty Python's Flying Circus: How Not to be Seen (1970)

Synopsis of Monty Python's Flying Circus: How Not to be Seen

An advertising executive comes up with the sure-fire slogan "Conquistador Coffee brings a new meaning to the word 'vomit.'" British prime minister Ramsey MacDonald strips down to bra and panties. Mr. Bee trades everything he owns, including his secretary, for a job -- or at least a biscuit. The self-same secretary is saved from International Communism by Uncle Sam and a toothpaste commercial. An excerpt from the play It All Happened on the 11:20 From Hainault is performed, while in another theatrical event, the entire cast sports foot-long front teeth (and let us not forget the works of Gavin Millarrrr). Several archbishops demonstrate the modern methods of conversion, segueing into an endorsement of Cartoon Religions. And a screening of the Government service film "How Not to Be Seen" concludes with a performance by Jackie Charleton and the Tonettes. First telecast December 9, 1970, "How Not to be Seen" features the ineluctable Carol Cleveland. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
