This is Monty Python we're talking about. The fans overthink everything. We put the 'anal' into over-analysis.

Case in point, here are a few things that may or may not be relevant that he missed:
1) We see Bedevere tying coconuts to birds' legs to distribute them, as per the first castle scene.

2) When God talks to Arthur, both are played by Graham Chapman. Does this mean God is only in his/your own mind? The other knights react to what they see, but don't talk to him or reference anything he says.

3) You can see that when the black knight is down just just the one leg, he's actually played by a one-legged local instead of by Cleese.

There's lots of this rubbish, and we love it. I only just made up number two (although it is true).

As a bonus, here's a relevant XKCD:

I love this guy. Not only is he very convincing, but the way he does everything in a single shot means he comes across like a cross between Kenny Everett and Graham Chapman. But alive, obviously.

thanks, my mistake (that'll teach me to blindly copy yt tags).

>> ^wormwood:

Maybe fix the tags. It's John Cleese and Eric Idle (with intro by Graham Chapman). No Gilliam on stage here.

Well here's Life of Python, a Python documentary with Steve Martin. I haven't actually watched it, but IMDB tells me that Steve Martin is in it. Skipped through it, didn't look like it had Graham Chapman's funeral in it...

Well crap, it seems we actually have Graham Chapman's Personal Best right here on the sift. And it doesn't seem to contain his funeral.

It just seemed odd that they had the month and year in the subtitle. Is that normal for a British broadcast, or does it mean this was aired after the fact?

Anyway, it looks like this may have been part of a series. Just guessing, but the "Graham Chapman's Personal Best" episode of the "Monty Python's Personal Best" series would probably include something like this.

A user from IMDB describes the Graham Chapman episode as "a wonderfully compiled edition featuring little stories from the five about the deceased Graham Chapman coming across as a truly heart felt tribute".

What I'm thinking is that it was a special about Graham Chapman....I'd like to see the rest.

Good point, Grimm. Since they have the month, year, and "Graham Chapman's Memorial Service" subtitled in on the video, I'd guess this was aired some time after the actual funeral. Unless BBC broadcasts usually have that sort of stuff?

Not sure what sort of show would include something like this. Maybe this was appended to some Python movie/sketch which was aired sometime later "in memory of Graham Chapman"?
