Yes I remember the first series on BBC2 it was late around 9pm at the time. That is late if you were 12 in 1969!

Morning peri, i was a huge 'Do Not Adjust Your Set' fan back in the pre-python days when it was the best childrens TV show, then they split up and David Jason went one way and the pythons grew up!!! But I never really watched them when the python shows started, all the lads at school did though i recall.

i was 14 in 1969 and it was later than 9pm, I think it was after 10pm, and some series went out even later than that. The following day the lads at school would all be mumbling the theme tune under their breath in unison or quoting the stuff loudly, it had a massive impact almost immediatly. In 1969 i was probably watching High Chapparel and The Virginian, Department S and stuff like that lol
Pericat, I saw a DVD of George Harrison's memorial the other day held at the Royal Hall of Albert as Michael Palin would say and the Python team had been invited by George's widow to do a stint and they did, it was absolutely hilarious, amongst of course all the brilliant music George wrote. Harrison did of course fund the film "Life of Brian at the eleventh hour after the film people pulled the plug on it. Bet they kicked themselves later.
I loved the Pythons, but more from their albums, which we all memorised word for word.
I saw them 'live' a Knebworth Festival, and like all their stuff, some worked, some didn't.
I always loved their pin-point satire about 'the establshment', including the church and the army - wonderful.
The Spanish Inquisition still makes me ache with laughter, but like all comedy, it is subjective, so I understand why people don't find it at all funny.
