Line 37:

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)
