A couple weeks ago, I went to hear John Cleese in conversation with Eric Idle. I linked to a great video of that chat here.
During it, Mr. Cleese and Mr. Idle read/performed a sketch that had been written for a pre-Python projecy in which Mr. Cleese appeared, a series called At Last…the 1948 Show. Idle read a role that had originally been performed by Marty Feldman.
What we have here today is a longer version of that sketch as performed by Mr. Feldman and his foil, John Junkin, on a subsequent show of Feldman's. The character's name is Mr. Pest. For obvious reasons…
