From 'Another Monty Python Record'. Also featured on the albums 'Instant Record Collection (UK version) and 'Monty Python's The Final Ripoff'.
Michael Palin : Hello I am just listening to this record with my wife and our au-pair and I’d like to say how shocked we are that a pleasant collection of Norwegian folk songs should be turned into an excuse for communist propaganda of the shoddiest kind. What’s gone wrong with the world. I can’t even take a bath without 6 or 7 communists jumping in with me. They’re in my shirt cupboard and Breshnev and Kosegan are in the kitchen now eating my wife’s jam. Oh they are cutting off my legs. I can see them peeping out of my wife’s blouse. Why doesn’t Mr Maulding do something about it before it is to late. Ohhhh….God…
(Sound of Telephone being hung up)
(sound of more glass breaking and then sound of music)
Eric Idle : (As an announcer) That was the Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekov adapted for radio by putting onto a piece of wood and banging a few nails through it. Mr L.M. Gumby is now appearing in the Thames near Whopping Step and Mr D.P Gumby is appearing as a central tunnel support on the new Victoria line. And now Book at Bedtime read by N.D. Gumby
Michael : Oh, I hit my head on the table!
John : Oh, shut up!
Michael : Sorry!
John : Oh I have a piece of brain stuck in my head... oh my head hurts!
