      I’m seeing John Cleese carrying a clipboard, alongside some hapless customer or client or something, in Monty Python’s Flying Circus, but am unable to remember which sketch it was: “Ah! Yes. Can do… but won’t!”

          Imagine that… someone made a clip of that exact line - and nothing else - on YouTube five years ago! Amazing. And thank you!

          Ok, he’s saying it to Graham Chapman, when my glitching memory saw Michael Palin or Terry Jones hazily… and erroneously.
          From what I recall, Cleese is a sketch assembly supervisor or something meta like that, after the sketch is over he is denying giving a lift back to Chapman, having transported him to the sketch location in the first place.

          And that’s as far as my memory will take it. I can’t remember what the sketch was, what comes before or after… zip. Nada. Zilch.

    It looks like you could wind that hat up with the little lever on the side, and then it would spin with the tassels flying outward.

    Fast forward to 2024: "“Let me do the dumbest thing I can think of and film it for Tik Tok”

    Like those podcasts where someone bloops and the host says - “It’s okay, we’ll fix it in post [production]… just kidding, we don’t do any post”.
