English I liked the third part of the first season more than the previous episode. The court case due to bad parking, with a fine of thirty shillings, turned into a thrilling drama thanks to John Cleese. After this start, F.G. Superman, a bicycle repairman played by Michael Palin, was absolutely superb. Immediately after that, Eric Idle shone while reading fairy tales, as well as in a luxurious restaurant setting, where his performance was overshadowed by chef John Cleese. I was in tears of laughter. And to top it off, they added the dangerous lives of British milkmen and again Eric Idle in his Crushing, Crushing sketch. Perfect! (01/08/2017)
