Matching Tie & Handkerchief.

Does anyone have this Monty Python album ?
I used to love listening to it when I was younger & I've since noticed that it had quite a few sketches not featured in the TV series.

I just had a listen to World war 1 noises & my personal favourite The Adventures of Ralph Mellish

Yes. And on the subject of Python, I had not bothered buying the 3 DVD (double-sided) set Monty Python's Personal Best, as I already had the complete Flying Circus and their films. Last night I watched part of a friend's copy of Personal Best and have decided it's worth getting as the 'best of' clips are interspersed with new (2005) interviews and other silliness. The best interview bit so far is John Cleese's reply when he's asked what he would like to be remembered for: "I'd like people to say that Cleesey had a really big dick."

Love Matching Tie and Handkerchief. If there was anything that made me a comedy fan, it was hearing the Cheese Shop sketch for the first time. Always thought the albums were the best Python work (outside of the films). They've remained fresh in a way that the TV shows haven't.
