Reviews (1)
The seventh episode introduced the viewer to the beloved hero of adventure novels, Captain Bigglesworth, dictating a letter. This was followed by a sketch with a lifeboat/maritime buffet and the show Preserves, which dealt with canning in the world. Sam Peckinpah took care of the bloody ending of this episode, but before that, I got to see my favorite sketch from the cheese shop, in which the proven duo of Michael Palin (salesman) and John Cleese (customer) appeared. This scene can confidently be compared to the Dead Parrot in my eyes. Both actors once again managed to push the plot to absolute absurdity, and I had to replay the sketch several times because I missed some passages due to laughter.
