The Man Who Speaks in Anagrams | Monty Python’s Flying Circus #montypython #anagram

Blood, Devastation, Death, War and Horror Tony M. Nyphot’s Flying Risccu On the gardening show ’Blood, Devastation, Death, War and Horror’, the host (Michael Palin) speaks to a man who speaks in anagrams, Hamrag Yatelrot (or ’Graham’) (Eric Idle). The two discuss his work on Shakespeare (or Malliwi Rapessheake), including ’The Mating of the Wersh’, ’Two Netlemeg of Verona’, ’Twelfth Thing’, ’The Chamrent of Venice’, ’Thamel’ and his next project ’Ring Kichard the Third’. The host points out it’s not an anagram, but a spoonerism. Hamrag indignantly says “if you’re going to split hairs, I’m going to piss off“ and leaves. The Nude Organist (Terry Jones) plays a fanfare, followed by the BBC continuity announcer (John Cleese), the “It’s“ man (Palin), and an anagram version of the opening titles.
