(Announcer standing in front of his desk.)
Announcer (John Cleese): (reverently) Ladies and gentlemen, I am not simply
going to say 'and now for something completely different' this
week, as I do not think it fit. This is a particularly auspicious
occasion for us this evening, as we have been told that Her
Majesty the Queen will be watching pan of this show tonight. We
don't know exactly when Her Majesty will be tuning in. We
understand that at the moment she is watching 'The Virginian', but
we have been promised that we will be informed the moment that
she changes channel. Her Majesty would like everyone to behave
quite normally but her equerry has asked me to request all of you
at home to stand when the great moment arrives, although we here
in the studio will be carrying on with our humorous vignettes and
spoofs in the ordinary way. Thank you. And now without any
more ado and completely as normal, here are the opening titles.
