In 1975, four of the cast members of
Monty Python, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, and Graham Chapman, sat down for a live interview on
Dallas' KERA-TV, allegedly the first PBS station to air Monty Python's Flying Circus. This footage, according
to the introduction, has not been seen since it originally aired. Unfortunately, the clip cuts off after thirteen
minutes, apparently because an engineer taped over it. Nevertheless, it's fascinating to watch as these young
American's ask questions about a show all of us now know forward and backward, but that at the time was completely new
to them. And, since it was filmed during pledge week, you get to hear the incessant ringing of phones in the background
throughout the entire interview. It would have been nice if the rest of the troop had joined them, but at least it gives
us another chance to hear from the late Graham Chapman, who passed away in 1989. Watch the video after the
