Trivia
The Pythons had recorded a new sketch with Steve Martin where they all played schoolboys asking Martin questions. It would turn out to be the last time Graham Chapman performed before his death a month after shooting. The sketch was cut before transmission and is now believed to be lost.

Quotes
Steve: They were tall. They were beautiful. They were crazy.
[pause, annoyed]
Steve: I'm not going to say that bit. I can't. Because it's a lie, that's why! I'll tell you why I can't say it, it because it's not in my, it's not...
[a spear pokes Steve in the side of his head]
Steve: I love them!

The best Python classics in 72 minutes

With the exception of the Dead Parrot sketch which hands this compilation it's title, this is the ultimate collection of Python classics that have been suitably squeezed into 72 minutes. The Ministry of Silly Walks, Spam, The Lumberjack Song..they're all here along with some other lesser-known delights (e.g. the Queen Victoria Handicapp, fantastic!).
