Monty Python's Incredibly Funny TV Series That Was Never Broadcast Because Some Twit At The BBC Lost The Footage Thus Bringing Into Question The Actual Existence Of The Show Especially Since The Members Of Monty Python Deny That Such A Show Was Ever Produced But It's Really Paradoxical To Contemplate What Might Have Happened Had Such A Show Actually Been Broadcast Since It Would Never Have Had This Title In The First Place Now Would It?
