Original Broadcast Date: Dec. 14, 1972
Attempted Synopsis:A plane bomber who's desperate for a pound; a housing development built by literary characters; an elderly, brain-addled royal visits a mortuary; Terry Gilliam does a cameo in one of his cartoons; the Olympic hide-and-seek final; a visit from the Cheap Laughs; a commentary on bullfighting; a scientific study of an alien planet discusses only the planet's economic status; the bomber reads the credits for a nominal fee.
Review: A riot from start to end. About the only debit is Michael Palin's uh-ing and well-ing elder prince, but the hypnotist who puts up buildings in two seconds makes up for it.
Priceless Gag: The Pythons' most ingenious sketch segue ever: a fold-up bed pulls up the wall of the next sketch.
