“List of Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

This is a list of all 45 episodes from the television series Monty Python's Flying Circus:

The original air dates do not all apply to BBC Scotland, which took a different approach to airing the series.

Series 1

1. Sex and Violence

2. Whither Canada?

(episode 2; aired 12 October 1969; recorded 30 August 1969. This was written as episode 1 but not aired in that order.^[8]{{rp|68}}^[8]{{rp|109}})

3. How to Recognise Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away

4. Owl Stretching Time

Many sketches in this episode are ended prematurely by Graham Chapman's army character ("The Colonel"), who protests rip offs of the British Army's slogan, "It's a Man's Life in the Modern Army"

5. Man's Crisis of Identity in the Latter Half of the 20th Century

BBC-1 began colour broadcasting officially on 15 November 1969. Since September 1969, however, they had been broadcasting colour programmes "unofficially", so while the whole of the first series was broadcast in colour, this episode was the first to be advertised as being in colour (source: Notes taken from BBC videotape operators and transmission managers made at the time). This was also the first episode where John Cleese says the title in a silly voice rather than calmly in his normal voice.

6. It's the Arts (or: The BBC Entry to the Zinc Stoat of Budapest)

7. You're No Fun Anymore

8. Full Frontal Nudity

This episode repeats a running gag from episode 4: a female cast member delivers a terrible joke, and upon protest from fellow cast members wails "But it's my only line!"

Most sketches in this episode are ended prematurely by Graham Chapman's army character ("The Colonel") from the first sketch, who protests that they are "too silly."

9. The Ant, an Introduction

10. Untitled

This is the first episode not to show an episode title at the beginning of the closing credits.

11. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Goes to the Bathroom

12. The Naked Ant

13. Intermission (or: It's The Arts)

Series 2

1. Face the Press (or: Dinsdale)

Introductory music of Ethel the Frog/Piranha Brothers: from Karelia Suite by Jean Sibelius

2. The Spanish Inquisition

The Spanish Inquisitors (Palin, Jones, and Gilliam) appear 7 times throughout this episode.

3. Déjà Vu (or: Show 5)

This episode introduces a running gag that is used for the next two episodes: A character says, "Walk this way." The character told this responds, "If I could walk that way…" only to be stopped when the first character warns them about finishing the punchline by raising a finger.

4. The Buzz Aldrin Show (or: An Apology)

The "Walk this way" gag is used again, but this time the punchline is said completely, resulting in the character saying it being taken away by a police constable.

5. Live from the Grill-O-Mat

The "Walk this way" gag is used for the last time, except the words "I" and "walk" are replaced with "we" (since it's a group of people) and "run", respectively.

6. It's a Living (or: School Prizes)

7. The Attila the Hun Show

8. Archaeology Today

9. How to Recognise Different Parts of the Body

10. Scott of the Antarctic

11. How Not to Be Seen

John Cleese's "And now for something completely different" and the opening sequence have a repeating groove.

This episode featured many famous characters from different episodes including Arthur Name (Nudge Nudge), and Ken Shabby. Terry Gilliam also reprised his role as the nude organist (Blackmail), a character usually played by Terry Jones.

12. Spam

13. Royal Episode 13 (or: The Queen Will Be Watching)

This episode includes a reference to Episode 14: Spiny Norman appears from behind Trafalgar Square and says, "Dinsdale!"

Series 3

In this season (only), the opening sequence begins with a nude organist, John Cleese saying "and now," and the "It's" Man.

1. Whicker's World (or: Njorl's Saga)

2. Mr. and Mrs. Brian Norris' Ford Popular

3. The Money Programme

4. Blood, Devastation, Death, War and Horror

Anagrams appear throughout this episode: "Tony M. Nyphot's Flying Risccu" for Monty Python's Flying Circus; "Chamran Knebt" for Merchant Bank, "Mary Recruitment Office" for Army Recruitment Office. The end credits are all in anagrams.

5. The All-England Summarize Proust Competition

A running gag throughout this episode is whenever anyone answers the phone, they take off their shoe as if the person on the other end asked their shoe size.

6. The War Against Pornography

7. Salad Days

8. The Cycling Tour

This episode is the first episode of Flying Circus to feature a full-length story.

This is the first episode that doesn't have a formal opening sequence; instead, a simple caption "The Cycling Tour" appears at the beginning of the episode.

John Tomiczek, Graham Chapman's adopted son, makes a brief non-speaking appearance as an autograph seeker.

The episode was written by Michael Palin and Terry Jones with the exception of the last third which was re-written by John Cleese and Graham Chapman.^[10] Michael Palin and Terry Jones play only one character each throughout the whole show (although Jones, suffering from amnesia, imagines himself as Clodagh Rogers, Leon Trotsky, Eartha Kitt and Edward Heath).

The music to which Mr. Pither cycles is the Waltz from Act II of Faust by Charles Gounod.

9. The Nude Organist (or: The Nude Man)

10. E. Henry Thripshaw's Disease

The BBC censored this episode probably more than any other, cutting three sketches (Big Nosed Sculptor, Revolting Cocktails, Wee-Wee Wine Cellar) as well as much of Gilliam's animation.

11. Dennis Moore

12. A Book at Bedtime

"Party Political Broadcast (Choreographed)" and "Dad's Doctors, Dad's Pooves and Other Interesting Stories" have been cut out in many versions of this episode.^[29] A clip of "Party Political Broadcast (Choreographed)" has surfaced on YouTube, stated to have been found in Canada by David Morgan. It originates from WNED in Buffalo, New York; an identification card is seen at the beginning of the clip, and a "Support Channel 17" phone number shows up at the bottom of the screen.^[30] There is also a clip of the last sketch originating from German network WDR with German subtitles.^[31] "Dad's Doctors" has been restored to the iTunes version of the show as well as added to the Netflix streaming video version of the series.

13. Grandstand (or: The British Showbiz Awards)

During the Light Entertainment Awards, Richard Baker briefly appears, saying "Lemon Curry?"

Series 4

John Cleese was not interested in doing more of the series, so the rest of the troupe decided to do one last, shortened season under the simple banner, Monty Python (although the old full title, Monty Python's Flying Circus, is displayed at the beginning of the opening sequence). Cleese did receive writing credits on some episodes that featured material he'd written for the first draft of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (particularly in the Michael Ellis episode).

1. The Golden Age of Ballooning

2. Michael Ellis

This is the second episode to feature a full-length story (the others being 'Them/Blancmange' from S1 and 'Cycling Tour' S3). It was mainly written by John Cleese and Graham Chapman with some help from Michael Palin and a little bit from Neil Innes.^[10]

3. The Light Entertainment War

The Nude Organist and the It's Man appear for the last time, in footage taken from the Dennis Moore episode.

Most of the sketches of the episode have a shared theme (World War II) yet no apparent narrative.

4. Hamlet

5. Mr. Neutron

This is the fourth episode to feature a full-length story ("Them/Blancmange", "Cycling Tour" and "Michael Ellis" being the earlier three).

With the exception of "Post-box Ceremony," nearly the entire episode was co-written by Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

6. Party Political Broadcast

As the episode opens and closes, there are announcements related to the "Party Political Broadcast on Behalf of the Liberal Party."
