On the one hand, the BBC didn't interfere all that much with the show, but on the other hand they tended to bury it in the schedules, particularly in the first series - it went out very late at night, and was always more of a cult thing than a hit. Their huge mainstream popularity came a little later. And, I suppose, the BBC's burying it in the schedules is sort of understandable, given that it was so very different from nearly everything else that was on British television at the time.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955770520790267352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-7042467245906331552006-12-14T18:00:00.000-05:002006-12-14T18:00:00.000-05:00The memo you quote from was printed in Robert Hewi...The memo you quote from was printed in Robert Hewison's "Monty Python: The Case Against" published in 1981.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554430769372172425noreply@blogger.com
