it's pretty inane stuff. Umm, OK, actually I may be alone in that view.

No, I'd agree with you there, Rob. The series had their moments of brilliance, but in wide-open fields of drivel. Same with Holy Grail. There was lots of dross in Meaning Of Life, too. The only Python thing I'd count as good from beginning to end is Life Of Brian; it should be compulsory on theology courses the world over. "Of course, when he says that blessed are the cheesemakers, that's obviously allegory, and in fact he's talking about all employees of the dairy industry." (But perhaps you need to have met plenty of theologians to realise how dead-on the parody is.)
