Monty Python in Aberystwyth

00:00:17 From a distant land, came a story of faith and religion

00:02:14 except a very unusual comedy show.

00:03:38 They're first original film was Monty Python And The Holy Grail

00:04:59 We had no idea what it was going to be like. No idea at all.

00:06:07 Those people out there are following him.

00:07:15 That was a surprise because, you know

00:08:17 They're mocking everything we know about.

00:09:22 I wasn't vicar of the university church for nothing.

00:10:24 You have succeeded in reducing something

00:11:25 or people's beliefs that are a bit, to me, misguided or...

00:12:35 That gets across how Christians would feel about it.

00:13:42 so perhaps the council should, yes.

00:14:40 it was one of the only proper moments of censorship.

00:15:57 And I got elected and you know...

00:16:58 I went through all the necessary research

00:18:01 And eventually so many people came up to me in the street and said

00:19:18 the university arts centre would screen The Life Of Brian

00:20:28 I can't understand why it's banned.

00:21:32 I think this is a chapel sort of place, isn't it?

00:22:45 I was hoping you'd have worn them but never mind.

00:24:15 were the people who hadn't seen it.

00:25:39 And a special welcome to Terry and Michael.

00:26:53 And that is what most people duck.

01:09:07 comes to office in the UK
