"Monty Python's Flying Circus" The Golden Age of Ballooning (TV Episode 1974) - Michael Palin as Plumber, Louis XIV, Voice Over #2, Presenter, Mr. Von Bulow, Helmut, Various

Announcer : Next week on "The Golden Age of Ballooning", we examine the work of Girlsher and Coxwell, the English balloonists who ascended to a height of seven miles in 1862 without washing. There is also a book called "The Golden Age of Ballooning" published by the BBC to coincide with the series. It's in an attractive hand-tooled binding, is priced £5 and failure to buy it will make you liable to a £50 fine or three months' imprisonment. There's also a record of someone reading the book of "The Golden Age of Ballooning", a crochet-work bedspread with the words "The Golden Age of Ballooning" on it, available from the BBC, price £18 or five months' imprisonment, and there are matching toilet-seat covers and courtesy mats with illustrations of many of the balloons mentioned. Also available is a life-size model frog which croaks the words "The Golden Age of Ballooning" and an attractive bakelite case for storing motorway construction plans in, made in the shape of a balloon. And now, another chance to see a repeat of this morning's re-run of last night's second showing of episode two of the award-winning series "The Golden Age of Ballooning".
Louis XIV : Look here smart ass, when you're king of France you've got better things to do than go around all day remembering your bloody number!
