The episode introduces us to the beloved adventure hero Captain Bigglesworth dictating a letter, followed by a sketch featuring a lifeboat/naval buffet and a show about global canning trends. Sam Peckinpah delivers a bloody finale, but not before my favorite cheese shop sketch, starring Michael Palin (the shopkeeper) and John Cleese (the customer). This sketch, in my opinion, is right up there with the Dead Parrot sketch. Palin and Cleese push the absurdity to new heights, and I had to rewind several times because I was laughing so hard that I missed parts of it.
