Pretty sure I've seen the "dirty books" sketch, so I don't think so!

Yep, but these are 'rediscovered' episodes rather than 'never before seen'. Guess we'll have to wait till they're screened generally or someone bootlegs them onto YouTube, whichever comes sooner

Yes, but I'm not that old!
Some of us are though 
Isn't the bookshop sketch the one which features:
'Do you have Great Expectations?'
'By Charles Dickens? Yes, we have that.'
'No, not the one by Charles Dickens the one by...'
And so on and so forth.
Don't both Marty Feldman and Connie Booth play the annoying bookshop customer in different sketches? Maybe Cleese and Connie Booth (or the Cleeses?) were a Secret Policeman sketch or something?
My amateur dramatic group are wanting to perform the Bookshop sketch. Does anybody have any certain information about who owns the copyright for it.
If it's Monty Python we're stuffed as they are not licensing anything for live performance at the moment
Thanks for your help, anybody...
It was written by Cleese and Chapman, so the rights are probably held through Python (Monty) Pictures, but it's worth enquiring.
I read many a year ago that they gave all the rights to Amnesty International, but I got nowhere with them when I tried to obtain a copy of "Live at Drury Lane" on video. I have the audio from years ago, but don't think it was ever released in video, which is a bummer as I didn't have a video recorder when it was aired many, many years ago.
Not unless someone in BCG has a copy of it? Pretty please?
I don't think this show gets enough credit and neither does Do Not Adjust Your Set.
Tim Brooke Taylor doing the Chartered Accountant dance is possibly one of the funniest things I have ever seen proving once again that the simplest ideas are usually the funniest.
At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set are must-see's.
Yes the Charted Accountant Dance is brilliant.
There are quite a few more fantastic sketches on both shows.
