For the 50th anniversary of Monty Python’s Flying Circus‘ first broadcast, on BBC 1, Michael Palin has narrated and constructed a series of shws for BBC Radio 4, Monty Python at 50: The Self-Abasement Tapes, broadcasting sketches that never made it to air, or in very limited capacities, such as advertising for the show and films. Usually, this kind of thing can be a disappointment, but the Fat Ignorant Bastards sketch from episode 1 could have been written yesterday, and have been the lead sketch in any episode or movie since…

All five episodes have been made available for free streaming globally on the BBC Radio iPlayer, details and links [in article].

There were four episodes when I made the OP, now there is a fifth with "a sensational duet between Eric Idle and Professor Stephen Hawking". Wonder if there's a sixth next week?
