Let's further the nitpickery, @avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus - if you're referring to what is described as the "Free Record given away with the Monty Python matching tie and handkerchief," that's the record itself that it's referring to, as in "here's a free bonus for buying this fine set of…

He has a credit for "additional blank verse" in the "Hamlet" episode (in which Connie Booth appears, oddly enough). I think his contribution there was the sketch about the boxer whose head came off during a bout (also a discarded bit from the first draft of Holy Grail), one of the few bright spots in one of their…

I agree totally. It also benefits from having a lot of Cleese-written material (most of it came from the discarded first draft of Holy Grail), though how much never seems to have been determined: various sources have it as being everything from essentially a show-length Cleese/Chapman sketch rewritten by the rest…
