Friday Night, Saturday Morning

Friday Night, Saturday Morning was a live chatshow, that was one day in 1979 the site of one of a strange debate between on the one hand John Cleese and Michael Palin, representing Monty Python, and on the other hand malcolm muggeridge and the bishop of Southwark. The subject was wether or not "Life of Brian" was a blasphemous movie or not. As one of the Pythons commented later, it was a very strange scene, quite a Python sketch in itself, except that the Pythons discussed the matter seriously while their opponents were quite ludicrous in their statements. Also, it is one of the few occasions where Michael Palin gets angry.
