Live from the Grill-o-Mat Snack Bar, Paignton

 

 

(Sketch opens with the BBC world symbol)

 

Voice Over: (Michael Palin) Monty Python's Flying Circus tonight comes to you live from the Grill-o-mat Snack Bar, Paignton.

 

(Interior of a nasty snack bar. Customers around, preferably real people. Linkman sitting at one of the plastic tables.)

 

Linkman: (John Cleese) Hello to you live from the Grill-o-mat Snack Bar, Paignton. And so, without any more ado, let's have the titles.

 

It's Man Voice: It's...

 

(Animated titles. Back to the snack bar)

 

Linkman: (with rather forced bonhomie) Well, those were the titles. And now for the first item this evening on the Menu - ha ha - the team have chosen as a little hors d'oeuvres an item - and I think we can be sure it won't be an ordinary item - in fact the team mid told me just before the show that anything could happen, and probably would - so let's have ... the item.
