This has got to be one of my favorite sketches. Seeing the pantomime horses on the bicycles and on the real horses... HILARIOUS! Thanks for posting. :)
This parody on the 007 secret service flicks is brilliant; shame that the Pythons did not make something like The Life of Brian or the Holy Grail out of it, as they are usually better when they tell a whole story, one can see this as well at the Scotland-Alien-Wimbledon episode; but these short jests promise much but are all too soon over! But how can someone create a thing like a pantomime horse?
@@gabrieldinelli - The episode with the blancmange had a girl who'd the prior year been in two BBC Benny Hill shows but never transferred with him to Thames.
OK so let me get this right: this was John Cleese's first role in a 007 film, the two others being in The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day, correct?
I gotta find this whole episode again, that entire episode was one of the funniest they ever did, especially the ending with John Cleese as the pantomime horse doing announcements and shit while the others are getting beaten up lol
Pantomime Princess Margret! Lol that is just epic! What weirdo ever thought up the pantomime horse in the first place? He must have had something funny to drink!
Does anyone know, about the opening theme: - From which production music library this was; - The title of this piece; - Who composed it; - On which album it was contained The section from 0:07 to 0:14 was used in the scene from the Benny Hill sketch "Murder on the Oregon Express" as the train was pulling out of the station: czcams.com/video/R33Ug51FsnU/video.htmlm39s And Darl Larsen's Python book was of no help on this.
who's inside the horses? I know that Michael is one of the front parts.. not sure if it's the grey horse or the black horse. My guess is that Michael and Terry J are the front parts, and Graham and Eric the back parts...
Edward VII was ahead of his time. You just can't beat the British.

Micheal Palin said that the front of the grey pantomine horse was the favourite character he ever played.
I find Princess Margaret getting it in the pantomime groin hilarious.
I love the opening cartoon--it's a very good copy of a James Bond opening, and is a lot like the Python's own "The Bishop".

What is Graham Chapman holding and what's the thing he's wearing as a hat??? I mean the 'then' moment (1:03) ^^
@pjoe1979 It may sound geeky, but I actually understand that in less than 5 minutes! 8)
Edward VII, king Haakon of Norway... what could this mean? Should royalty only come up with such crazy ideas?
@robske007 Beyond The Night by Peter Reno.
