NE1 remember sketch about Venice and Gondolas?
Lee Derbyshire
When Life Of Brian came out, I went to see it at the pictures and it was
preceded by what I thought was an ordinary travelogue. It was going on about
Rome, Venice and stuff and all of the voice started getting a bit manic and
ranting on about 'More fucking gondolas'. I hadn't realized until then that
it was being read by John Cleese and the travelogue turned into a really
funny sketch.
Does anyone else remember this? Is it available anywhere?
I haven't seen or heard of it since.

Nah. That's the one where Mr. Smoketoomuch goes to the travel agent looking
for a more exciting holiday alternative to Spain.
