WHAT!? My husband Ted and I are huge fans of this show. This is a great bit of trivia. Ted is very well read and I will ask him later if he knew an alternative title and what it was...we will see...I will report on this later!
Quote from the interweb - "there were plenty of other considerations for the title, including Owl Stretching Time; Bunn, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot; Whither Canada?; Ow! It's Colin Plint; A Horse, a Spoon, and a Bucket; The Toad Elevating Moment; and The Algy Banging Hour. The BBC, in a state of agitation, was keen on "Flying Circus," and the troupe added "Monty Python."
This is a lovely image. Kollage Klassic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie. "Owl Stretching Time" was an alternative title of what became "Monty Pythons Flying Circus"!

DeleteNice one Michael. Huge fan of the Pythons.
ReplyDeleteAll great titles, fitting for the maddest show ever on TV.
