Yes...this was done for the short lived children’s series (though adults liked it too) Do Not Adjust Your Set...which featured future Pythons Eric Idle, Michael Palin, and Terry Jones as well. (And frequent appearances by the zany Bonzo Dog Band which featured Neil Innes—”Brave sir Robin ran away” in Holy Grail; the Bonzos had a #5 hit produced by Paul McCartney aka Apollo C Vermouth, Urban Spaceman)

Thank you! And a Merry Christmas to you and all you hold dear.

Nobody has ever made me giggle, groan, or laugh out loud as much as Monty Python.

Without looking it up, can you recall what OTHER famous producer worked with the Bonzo Dog Band before making it big helping create one of England's most successful solo acts?

someone named Bron? \

[Dr. Sivana]

Nope. Gus Dudgeon, who produced all of the Elton John Albums (”Elton John” through “Blue Moves” or so) during the peak of his career. He also produced the ground-breaking “Space Oddity” album for David Bowie.

Thanks KevinDavis, and Merry Christmas.

Hey, Joe.

[TheOldLady]

Thanks for the ping, Civ. I love Monty Python and Gilliam's cartoons. 

[raccoonradio]

thanks—the name actually popped into my head for a second though it was something like “Drudgeon”...Somehow “Gerry
Bron” or a name like that seemed more likely.

[skinkinthegrass]

BTTT...MERRY CHRISTMAS! :-D
