NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- This episode, like "Michael Ellis", features material that was cut from the original draft of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, such as the headless boxer sketch and the bogus psychiatrists sketch (which originally featured Sir Lancelot instead of Shakespeare's tragic hero).
  EDIT SHARE
- John Cleese was credited with "additional blank verse" in this episode.
