Tis but a scratch

Warning: Spoilers
The very first Python thing I have ever watched, instantly lived it.

Literally, every single scene is so quotable and iconic that you can just literally quote the whole film from the top of your head, if you have watched it many many times.

The line up of characters also make this a perfect film:

  • Chapman as King Arthur, the straight faced king who literally faces everything silly and wants to put a stop to it, much like The Colonel.


  • Cleese as Sir Lancelot (or Launcelot), the vicious knight who is braver than Sir Robin and willing to stab everything and everyone, literally.


  • Gilliam as Patsy, The King's servant. But I think we all remember Gilliam as the animator who suddenly has a heart attack.


  • Idle as Sir Robin the Not-quite-so-brave-as-Sir-Launcelot who had nearly fought the Dragon of Agnor, who had nearly stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill.


  • Jones as Sir Bedevere, the hopeless knight. Even more hopeless than Sir Robin!


  • Palin as Sir Galahad, the handsome knight whose favourite colour is Yellow and NOT blue.
