I thought it would be quite a simple question about Monty Python. I didn't expect a kind of Spanish inquisition! I'm watching the series from start to finish, and I'm liking series 2 much better than series one. And the studio audience seems to be much more "in" on the whole show. I should be up to series 3 in the next couple of days, and i can't wait to see if there's a noticeable "Jumping the Shark" point before series 4 starts. I love the job interview sketch... 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! zero... goodniiiiightdingdingding. I've had a few job interviews just like that! Also i just found the 1948 Four Yorkshiremen "Luxury!" sketch in it's most original form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSQeMBzHR0o Thanks for the reply. --- NewsGate v1.0 gamma 2 * Origin: News Gate @ Net396 - Meridian, MS - USA (1:396/4) .
