ADD NOTES
- Three elements of this program were never aired on PBS: one was a tease for a documentary on a U.S. Cavalry-Indians battle in 1863; another was an introduction to the career of Ursula Hitler ("who revolutionized British beekeeping"). And then there was that audio-only scene where a girl gives birth to her 12th and 13th children since lunch. All three scenes were reinstated on DVD and when the American cable channel IFC carried Python repeats in 2009-10. Edit
- Douglas Adams co-wrote with Graham Chapman the sketch in which Dr. Chapman refuses to treat a bleeding patient until he can fill out the forms correctly. Neil Innes co-wrote the "Most Awful Family" in Britain. These are the only two non-Python writing credits in the regular series. Edit
