"Monty Python's Personal Best": "Taken as the repertory of six very different men, the episodes seem more than a compilation of mere sketches. But I think everybody chose 'Fish Slapping.'" In fact, he had a very long list, so it wasn't in the end that difficult.

Series producer John Goldstone described the process as "complicated." "Terry Jones, for instance, by the time we got to him, he wanted a whole lot of sketches that everybody had already chosen," Goldstone told the Toronto Star. "Cleese got first go, and then I got in second … Because you figured that if you're not in quick, somebody else would and all the best stuff would have gone." "There was a definite pecking order," Idle told the Toronto Star.
Sketches include: "It's …" French Sheep Lecture Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook An Interview With a Duck, a Cat, and a Lizard Policeman Johann Gambolputty Chemist Sketch Interviews With Children The Pirahna Brothers Undertakers Race "Blackmail" The Semaphore Version of "Wuthering Heights" A Man With a Tape Recorder Up His Nose Army Commander's Office Architects Sketch A Scotsman on a Horse Mosquito Hunters Conrad Poohs and His Dancing Teeth Wife-Swapping Postal Box Dedication Cheese Shop Fish Slapping Dance.Įxtras: Palin's Personal "Second-Bests": Beethoven and the Mynah Bird A Man With Three Buttocks The Most Awful Family in Britain Trivia Game by Kim "Howard" Johnson.Īccording to Idle, the selections of sketches were all made independently, and not always amicably.

The highly-esteemed "Fish Slapping Dance," for example, is included in five of the six episodes – Palin's (for his death-defying fall into the Thames), Cleese's (for wielding a very large fish), Jones' (for co-writing it with Palin), Gilliam's (for providing the animated intro), and Chapman's ('cause, why not?). The parameters of what was selected were not limited to bits which they wrote or in which they appeared.
In this box-set collection (individual episodes were also released separately), each Python selected their favourite sketches (the surviving five made the selection for Chapman’s episode) to include as their own "Personal Best".
