Whither Canada? (1.1) Monty Python (Ft. Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam & Terry Jones)
A seashore. Some way out to sea a ragged man is struggling his way to shore. Slowly and with difficulty he makes his way up onto the beach, flops down exhausted and announces:
It's Man: It's...
Voice Over: Monty Python's Flying Circus!
Titles beginning with words "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Various bizarre things happen. When titles end:
Ordinary grey-suited announcer standing by desk. He smiles confidently.
Announcer: Good evening.
The announcer confidently moves to chair and sits down. There is a squeal as of a pig being sat upon.
Cut to a blackboard with several lines of pigs drawn on it in colour. A man steps into view and with a piece of chalk crosses out one of the pigs.
CAPTION: 'IT'S WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART'
Mozart sitting at piano tinkling with the keys. He finishes tinkling.
Mozart: Hello again, and welcome to the show. Tonight we continue to look at some famous deaths. Tonight we start with the wonderful death of Genghis Khan, conqueror of India. Take it away Genghis.
Cut to Genghis Khan's tent. Genghis strides about purposefully. Indian-style background music. Suddenly the music cuts out and Genghis Khan with a squawk throws himself in the air and lands on his back. This happens very suddenly. Judges hold up cards with points on, in the manner of ice skating judges.
Voice Over: 9.1, 9.3, 9.7, that's 28.1 for Genghis Khan.
Mozart still at piano.
