Sketch Comedy

D+

This proto-Python production is definitely more irritating than funny.  I've certainly watched more unpleasant things, especially lately, but D+ is as high as I can go and a quarter hour is all I could watch.  Note that Cleese is definitely the star here, as both host and performer.  Ian Fordyce directed

*According to Wikipedia, "It appears the show was never broadcast in the UK, but was first broadcast in the United States on 21 January 1969.  Contemporary reviews suggest a broadcast slot of 60 minutes, including commercials, which would make the version broadcast between 50 and 55 minutes, at least 10 minutes shorter than the current video release."
