According to Kim Johnson's book, Graham Chapman wrote the "Pet Conversion" sketch as a bit of a dig at Cleese, whose cats seemed to be going in to the vet to have some bit or other of themselves removed at an alarming rate.

Good point—and it's worth noting that they got more and better laughs as the first series went on. Also, once they started taping the second series in-studio, word had gotten around and the audience was younger and more "with it," and there is a noticeable difference not only in the number but the volume of the…

The barely-restrained rage in her voice . . . I still get chills.

Absolutely spot on. I remember talking about these eps after watching them with my then-girlfriend, now-wife, and we reflected that the entire Angel Gang had lost their souls by joining W&H, and didn't think to count the true cost of that until the one person who was the soul of the entire group was taken from them.…
