I seem to remember the Pythons on their reunion tour (particularly [[Eric_Idle#Monty_Python_.281969.E2.80.931983.29|Eric Idle]]), talking about the 'German' Python series. Statements like " Ve haff no sense of humour and ve vould like you to help us get one" and them also talking about "Writing the scripts, getting them translated into German and then having to learn them phonetically".

Line 30 ⟶ 31:

In correct German it would be ''Monty Pythons Fliegender Zirkus'' (with no [[apostrophe]]). Has anyone researched this? The British-release cover might repeat an English-language error.[[User:Nankai|Nankai]] ([[User talk:Nankai|talk]]) 21:00, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

:Watching the (U.S.) DVD now to check this... {{ISBN |0-7670-8567-1}}, as part of [[Monty Python's Flying Circus|The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus]], 16 Ton Megaset {{ISBN |0-7670-8551-5}}. Unless the error is repeated in the actual opening title sequence ([[Terry_Gilliam#Monty_Python|Gilliam animation]]), it '''''is''''' spelled with an apostrophe: Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus (all in [[All_caps|caps]] for the animation sequence)<BR>

Line 37 ⟶ 38:

What are the reception figures relating to? German responses, British responses? Then or decades later? The way it's written now makes it sound like the German audience loved it on its original airing, but Alfred Biolek said in an interview on [[Die Harald Schmidt Show]] that it bombed back then, nobody watched it, and the network's execs hated it because they didn't get it, and that's why even though he would've liked to see more German episodes, it only remained two. Monty Python would remain utterly unknown in Germany until the large international scandal around 'Brian' in 1979. I think Palin is being his usual "nicest man in Britain" self when he seemingly contradicts that in that quote used earlier in the article. We Germans love Python since the 80s, but back in the 70s, only Biolek knew and liked them. --[[Special:Contributions/91.11.45.131|91.11.45.131]] ([[User talk:91.11.45.131|talk]]) 02:01, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

:Okay, I've listened to the source now, and it sounds like the network's execs back in the day hid the actual responses from Biolek and his co-producing partner intentionally to cancel their plans for more German shows, and neither of the two found out until the partner, in preparation for the 2012 BBC4 feature, actually went into the WDR archives to find the actual surveys that had been done back in the early 70s. --[[Special:Contributions/91.11.45.131|91.11.45.131]] ([[User talk:91.11.45.131|talk]]) 02:51, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

== Graham Chapman's "Flute Player" ( Noted under "Lost Sketches" ) ==

Apropos of nothing of real significant importance ... It's Graham playing The Pied Piper of Hamelin. ( In the image noted, it reads "Hameln", with a list of things The Pied Piper can & can't rid your village of. ) It was most likely part of the whole mouse themed segment.
