Does anyone have this book? I need a scan of the script page(s) with the handwritten notes in the margins, for the opening credits sequence. Maybe it's in "Monty Python's Big Red Book" (which, btw, is blue), but somewhere, I recall seeing these script pages showing the producer's notes.

The reason I'm looking for this, is I'm trying to identify the title of one of the music cuts used.

Good work Paul! What, after all, is an office without a large and concise collection of Monty Python merchandise?

BTW... Noo!

PAUL!!!! Wow, thanks a lot! I won't be needing the scans, since those titles were exactly what I was looking for. "Wide Horizons" is the one in particular (I'm listening to "Countrywide" right now, in fact).

You're a pal! Thanks again.

Glad to be of service. Knew that book would come in handy--it continues to provide respite after some "tiny-brained wiper of other people's bottoms" has intruded upon my day.

Now I just have to figure out what "O" Level Geography is...

Later,

'O' (ordinary) levels were school exams taken by kids at age 16 in the UK. Typically children took 10-12 subjects. They were replaced in the late 1980s by GCSEs (general certificate of secondary education). After taking them, students went on to take 'A' (advanced) levels at age 18 (typically in 3 subjects) which still exist and which are the usual university/college entry qualification.

You mean that movie with Shannon Tweed and Bill "Politically Incorrect" Maher? It's on DVD, believe it or not! There's also a funny review of it at badmovies.org.

Finally! A site that combines my loves for aerodynamics and all things Python:

Oh, and a much belated "thank you" to Leo for the info about O-Level exams. Now I know what that poor Swedish moose went through.

Your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Funny thing this should come up today!
We were having our "employee meeting" at the Cornerstone Tavern last night. [beer]

The idea was put on the table that we should show Monty Python and the Holy Grail here at Mercyhurst. All parties agreed that this should be looked into.

So... What are the chances of getting a decent quality 35mm print of MP&HG?
