Who's got a boil on his semprini then? Quite an intro! lol. A bit twisted are we? :) In a GOOD way of course!

Haha! Yeah, Carol was a perfect PythonLady! Very talented comic actress, not afraid of doing those silly-sexy parts, and of course a beautiful woman. She was great as Zoot in the Holy Grail!

yes, the Marriage Counselor sketch. I believe I was about 14 when PBS ran that sketch on my local station. Carol Cleveland at her best.I think I took a few cold showers, 6 to be exact- after seeing that. I caught Pnemounia and was hospitalized 3 weeks as a result. Oddly enough I still look back on that with pleasant memories :)Okay, that was mostly a lie, but C.C. did do powerful things to a lad who had never seen such a sexy display on tv up until that point! Sorry, what was the question?

I thought you were talking about Connie Booth's laugh - I've read in The Pythons Autobiography (and also Michael was talking about it in some interview) that Connie, John Cleese's wife, was often there in the audience and her laugh was very... well, original. And I think it's the one you can hear in the Marriage Guidance Counsellor sketch, a moment after Carol's and Eric's disappearance - absolute silence and then Connie's "WHOOOOH! WHOOOOH!". But the laugh you're talkin about sounds different;)

your a VERY silly man and im not going to interview you!

Yeah, sorry...I realized a few minutes later that you were referring to an earlier comment."Ignorantly redundant phrase"; no that was not my intent. You are reading way too much into it. It was a bad joke about Bush more than anything, that's all. "Wannabe Brit"?, no, I just like the culture, especially the music and comedy, but I'm certainly not wanting to be British. "Sycophantic"? C'mon...now you're just trying to sound sophisticated. Ease up a bit, this isn't serious stuff.

Oh, dear. My comment was pertaining to your comment that you were embarrassed by Lauren4077's reference to "British English", as if that were an ignorantly redundant phrase. I just looked at your profile... Like me, you are an avid Beatles fan and intensely dislike the current US administration. Unlike me, however, you seem to be a unapologetically sycophantic wannabe Brit using terms like "mate, what is you(r) point?" and "straight away"...Now *I'm* embarrassed as an American.

spartyman7 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Yes, and since I posted my comment I read that in fact that woman was a friend of the cast who showed up often in the early days when they were just getting started on the BBC. That's why we took notice and remember her! You're right...it's as funny as some of the material from the Pythons!

spartyman7 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I haven't the slightest idea where you're even going with this. I simply referred to an audience member who laughs at the beginning of the sketch. Embarrassed? Language versions...mate, what is you point?
