Poncin of to Barnsley,the genius of the pythons

This is one of Monty python’s best written skits.

A bizarre reversal of roles in which the son of a haughty playwright became a humble coal miner.

We love them all, they're all very talented...but there's something special about Graham. Such glorious conviction, such a perfect balance of serious & unserious.

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. Mum is fussing Ken, but there's an altercation over a HP sauce bottle being on the table - obviously where the idea for the skit came from.

@premanadi

10 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.

Chapman's band collar shirt is looking pretty fashionable here

Chapman magnificent when sober. Later series saw him pissed & forgetting lines. He drank his way through Grail but had less nerves on the film set than in front of studio audiences. By the time of filming Brian he was teetotal & using his medical training to mend any poorly cast & crew in Tunisia. All six Pythons contributed different elements to the group. I feel Graham was the wilder / off-kilter of them. He provided a crazier spark - & was always the one I was drawn to.
