"Good"

By OmarCayenne, Jan 18, 2012

Really the only resonant bit about this one was the "pet fish Eric" guy. Oh, and it was also fun to see Carol Cleveland get to flex her wings (so to speak) with her extended impersonation of Jean Hagen in Singin in the Rain. Cleese's pixilated director was fun, and (unfortunately) all too real. Likewise the deadpan art-movie "foreign film" spoof which kicks off this episode, which regrettably was too genuine an imitation to really be amusing (yet another reason to thank God that the '60's are long over and done with). Oh yeah, and the Dancing Teeth thing always makes me smile...one of Gilliam's happier inspirations. Watching it again for the umpteenth time, I notice how long he kept holding out, keeping the viewer in suspense for quite a while before the payoff was finally reached.moreless

- This episode marks the only time in the show's history that Carol Cleveland is seen topless. Though other actresses appeared in various states of undress during the show's run, this was Cleveland's sole instance of dropping trou.

- 17 and half minutes into the show the opening credits play.
  EDIT SHARE
- The "Fish Licence" sketch was supposed to end with John Cleese singing his own composition Eric The Half A Bee. The number was cut from the TV shows not once but twice. When John sang the song during the Pythons' stage tour of Britain in 1973, the others made him drop the song. It appears with "Fish Licence" in Monty Python's Previous Record.
