Yes and that's another problem with playing some Monty Python sketches
on the radio. Sometimes the visuals are essential to the piece.

Everything is copyright protected, so there's been some sort of legal
agreement reached while programming the channel. They are playing TV
sketches though. A very ineffective example is the Ministry of Silly
Walks sketches. They're playing the TV audio track for this largely
visual sketch.

Are there legal issues in playing TV clips on the radio as opposed to
bits from vinyl or CD? Just asking.....

I think the problem is they are only using material from the recorded
albums/CDs, not cuts from the TV shows.
I really wanted to hear:

I was surprised to hear them play the "I Like Traffic Lights" and
"Farewell to John Denver" songs.
Of course, I can't help noticing that they didn't ask me to host a

Way too much repetition. I just came back from a R/T 500 mile each way
drive that started the day the engagement started. I was really
looking forward to a non-stop run of Python material.
Heard the same skits three times within 2 hours. Same goes for others.

So far I've heard a lot of repetition, but at the same time I've heard
songs and sketches I didn't really expect.
The censoring of profanity also seems to be pretty uneven.
Still, it's a nice change of pace from the usual radio fare. Overall
it's a good effort and pretty good result.

Oh dear.
And here was me thinking that there couldn't *really* be anyone out
there who believed that "irony" meant "something like heavy metal".
Mea Culpa. Mea Maxima Culpa.
