Original Broadcast Date: Oct. 26, 1969
Attempted Synopsis: Two housewives' unkempt toddlers destroy priceless works of art; a beach visitor's attempt to change clothes turns into an excuse for a striptease; a self-defense instructor explains how to defend yourself against fruit; a bookseller seems strangely resistant to the idea of selling books; lots of spy stuff about tooth fillings.
Review: Worth the entire half-hour just to see John Cleese in one of his early rants, here as an instructor who is obsessed with keeping the world safe from killer fruit. Also, there's a nice silent-movie-style bit from Buster Keaton enthusiast Terry Jones. And after all, it's a man's life watching "Monty Python's Flying Circus."
Priceless Gag: The demise of the man with the banana.
