Bet you have. In those bitterly very cold days.. when I was freezing cold around loch Lomond. Carrying coal to the local hotels, and up the Vale...I could have been doing with a hot dinner. But as you say, you've probably had more hot dinners than a coal howkiing tramp like me. Positively and forth street. Bob Dylan.

Back in 1978/79, one of the best teachers in my primary school would routinely shout 'Tungsten carbide drills?!'. I had absolutely no idea what he was going on about at the time but it sounded funny. He was a genius teacher who also recommended we all watch 'Blake's 7' - we did and we loved it though my appreciation of Monty Python came much, much later. What a fantastic and timeless sketch this is.

The sketch is almost identical to the first episode of Coronation Street. Ken Barlow has returned home from College and his dad is sitting at the table, in shirt sleeves.

@premanadi 11 ай бұрын

Just watched it. I wouldn't quite say "almost identical," but there is a similarity. But the Python sketch is clearly based on the father and son in DH Lawrence's Sons And Lovers. Or maybe the Coronation Street episode is as well!

@jonathanowen4075 11 ай бұрын

@@premanadi Lawrence is definitely the immediate point of reference - the published script mentions the sitting room as being 'straight out of D.H. Lawrence' - but there's also the broader tradition of British kitchen-sink realism and of educated sons returning home to working-class parents, which pops up in roughly contemporaneous plays by Dennis Potter, David Mercer, David Storey et al. Lawrence may well have been the root of all that though.

This sketch was a parody of the emergence of Northern based writers like Keith Waterhouse, who told of the gritty modern working class life in plays and films like Friday Night, Saturday Morning and Billy Liar, also TV shows like Coronation Street. Working class life was under represented in the dramatic arts until then, the idea was seen as 'low brow'. You'd have to go back to Charles Dickens before then, so it was seen as a phenomenon in the 60s as it wasn't expected to be received so well. So from this, these writers were suddenly welcomed as heroes by the Literati, in doing so they became arty farties themselves!

This wonderful skit displays a side of G Chapman rarely seen. While the skit is funny and a true classic, Chapman's darker side shows through, a side rarely seen as he usually plays goofs, twits, and oddballs.
