John Cleese stars in two extracts originally never kept in the BBC archive. Introduced by James Peak.

For starters, John joined BBC Radio 1 DJ Dave Cash in October 1970 for Cash at Four. Dave persuaded him to re-enact the 'Parrot Sketch' from BBC TV's Monty Python's Flying Circus.

In the second extract, enjoy a rare survivor from BBC Radio 4's The John Cleese Sketchbook from 1975.
