'a little something for the weekend' sir? If you > know what I mean." The only thing directly in common with this dialogue and "Homicidal Barber" sketch is the phrase "played well". Here's a snip from that sketch from the archives of : Tape Recorder: (snip, snip) Did you see the match last night, sir? Customer: Yes. Good game. I thought. Tape Recorder: (snip, snip, snip; sound of electric razor starting up) I thought Hurst played well sir. Customer: (straining to hear) I beg your pardon? Tape Recorder: (razor stops) I thought Hurst played well. Customer: Oh yes ... yes ... he was the only one who did though. Someone may have mis-remembered this and confused it with something else. > Can anyone tell me when this sketch was first performed and > where I might find it? The phrase "something for the weekend" is not in any of the Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes or Python movies. I am pretty certain of this, since I searched for it on my local copies of the script files (retrieved from Monty Python Pages; they should contain all sketches from the TV show & films) and didn't find a match. I did also a separate search for the word 'weekend' and browsed through all the sections that matched, but still didn't find anything resembling the phrase in question. -- Erno Simil„ --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5 * Origin: FidoNet MONTE <--> alt.fan.monty-python (1:379/45) .
