Changes: Silly Disturbances

Revision as of 17:07, 12 April 2021

Silly Disturbances is a sketch that appears in "E. Henry Thripshaw's Disease," the thirty-sixth episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Synopsis

A couple (Carol Cleveland and John Cleese) sit outside a restaurant, deeply in love with their surroundings. Reverend Arthur Belling (Michael Palin) asks if he can join them, and they accept politely, reassuring him they won't be disturbed by him. As he explains how annoyed people get when he talks to them, he makes swooping gestures, starts smashing plates against the table, and singing.

Eventually, the man and woman get up insisting it's time for them to leave, and the reverend says sadly that he knew he was disturbing them. They decide to stay a little longer, so he continues. The woman explains in a voiceover how their encounter with Reverend Belling changed their way of life, as they attend St Loony-Up-the-Cream-Bun-and-Jam every Sunday, where the Nude Organist plays a chord, followed by the "It's" man, the BBC continuity announcer and the opening credits.
