Monty Python's Flying Circus: Royal Episode 13 (1970)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

"Liberty Bell March" is replaced with "God Save the Queen" as the series' theme music, in anticipation of an expected visit from the Queen sometime during the episode. A bitter coal-mine strike is sparked by an argument over the Treaty of Utrecht and Greek Architecture. Mr. Pudifoot appears on "Toad Elevating Moment," refusing to come to the point. "Fish Club" elicits suggestions from the Board of Irresponsible People. Herbert Mental steals eggs from birdwatchers, then stages a pigeon fanciers' race through Trafalgar Square. A doctor leads a group of severely crippled patients through a military close-order drill. The men of the 14th Marine Command star in a production of "The Naughtiest Girl in School," followed by a reenactment of the Battle of Normandy by the girls of Oakdean High School. And a series of cannibalism jokes is interrupted by the disgusted studio audience. Carol Cleveland makes another of her many guest appearances in "Royal Episode 13," originally telecast December 23, 1970, as the final episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus' second season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
