Live from Epsom is a sketch that appears in "Hamlet," the forty-third episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Synopsis[]

A presenter Brian MacThighbone (Eric Idle) is at Epsom and interviews the winner of the last race, Ronnie Mau-Mau (Michael Palin). He comes into shot, with only his hat seen on screen. He then interviews Desmond Willet (Graham Chapman), who joins them on screen, only a bit taller than Ronnie. Brian then brings on Johnny Knowles, whose voice can hardly be heard. Brian asks if they can get a box for Johnny, and he comes into shot, just as short as the others.
