I've just come across this video, a compilation of Terry Gilliam-style animations from the Elegant Gentleman's Guide To Knife-Fighting. They've got a very Pythonesque feel about their style, and a similarly Pythonesque disrespect for the source material.
I love the way these short-run sketch shows, like Jam and Monkey Dust, manage to get away with murder for a while. Of course, then they get cancelled, so they don't really get away with it at all... but it's nice while it lasts.
Which does beg the question - how exactly did the Pythons actually get away with it for so long?
