Interview in Filing Cabinet is a sketch that appears in "How Not to Be Seen," the twenty-fourth episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Synopsis[]

The presenter (Michael Palin) turns the conversation over to Mr Ludovic Grayson, who scored all six goals in Arsenal's 1–0 victory over the Turkish Champions, FC Botty. The camera turns to Ludovic (Terry Jones), a voice coming out of a black filing cabinet. The presenter states how Ludovic is crouching down inside a filing cabinet, and Ludovic replies he's trying not to be seen. He says "if they can't see you, they can't get you." The two chuckle and the presenter replies smiling, "of course, they can still hear you". Ludovic stops in confusion and an explosion is heard, followed by Ludovic's scream, and smoke emerges from the cabinet drawers.

The presenter turns to the camera and presents Jackie Charlton and the Tonettes, with their newest song "Yummy Yummy Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy".
