I'm Arthur, king of the Britons. Who lives in that castle? No one lives there. Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. I thought we were an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself while living in an dictatorship of self-perpetuating autocracy... If only people would feel it. Help, help. I'm being repressed. Bloody peasant. Do you hear that? Please, please, good people. Will you shut up? Now we see the violence inherent in the system. Shut up. Oh, come and see the Violence inherent in the System.shut up"
[The Constitutional Peasants Scene] Here's another episode about Monty Python's Flying Circus, and in this one we're going to be covering some very interesting topics, such as medieval history, old myths legends & folklore, the British monarchy, marxism and radical politics. In terms of language we're going to look at some old fashioned formal poetic language, some political vocabulary and also some intonation and sentence stress, and we'll be doing all of that while understanding and hopefully enjoying a funny scene from a classic British comedy film. So, you really are getting everything in this episode (well, maybe not
everything but you know what I mean). A lot of this is transcribed at teacherluke.co.uk. If you find this episode on the website you'll also see a video, a script for that video and more information. So let's get started. Click here for transcripts & videos
