In 1975, Eric Idle was one of the key people involved in a program called Rutland Weekend Television, a sketch show on BBC2 (which didn't actually air on the weekend). Out of this show came The Rutles, a parody of the Beatles - which y'all should definitely check out. This bit came from that show; Monty Python's legendary series was over in 1973.
