Monty Python Colin 'Bomber' Harris
Having been outposted by the peshku, I will have to post my other
humour video quickly!!
This is the live version of Colin Bomber Harris fighting against
himself.It is from the Monty Python Show...which transformed British
humour on TV in the 1970's.
Unfortunately, the commentator changes the words for the live version,
but the original Tv version went like this....
"Here comes Bomber now, circling round, looking for an opening. He's
wrestled himself many times in the past, this boy, so he knows
practically all his own moves by now. And he's going for the double
hand lock. He's got it. Here's the head squeeze. And the ALBANIAN head
lock. He's going for the throw."
I remember seeing this on UK TV just after I returned from my first
visit to Albania in March 1994. It made me laugh so much!...although I
still don't know what an "Albanian Headlock" is?!
Part of the original TV version can be seen here
http://www.spike.com/video/2704447/collection/14295 but to be honest
the acting does not compare to the live version.
Interestingly, Michael Palin is the host at the beginning. He recently
paid a visit to Albania for a travel show for the BBC.
