Monty Python came on PBS right after SNL went off the air in the 70's. Was the only shows I was allowed to stay up for. My parents got me The Rutles lp for Christmas that year and I've never been the same since.

The theme tune was sung by the choir of Tiffin Boys School in Kingston upon Thames, back in about 1974. I wasn’t in the choir, but a crowd of us was invited into the school hall to sing the more raucous version heard over the end credits, and as instructed we sung as badly as possible, just as the school band (again, deliberately) played awfully! We were also recorded getting up and leaving the hall, for use in the episode. Watching the credits now takes me back to that fun time!
