Fish Licence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fish Licence is part one of a two-part segment of the popular British television series, Monty Python's Flying Circus, in it Eric Praline, played by John Cleese, takes on the role of the put-upon customer who, when seeking to obtain a licence for his pet "'alibut" named Eric has difficulty explaining to the clerk (Michael Palin) how all pets should be licensed.
Pets:
Eric the halibut
Eric the cat
Eric the dog
Eric the fruit-bat
Eric the half-a-bee
This is one of the three appearances by Eric Praline, along with the Dead Parrot sketch and a brief appearance as a link the 5th episode of the second series, "Live from the Grill-o-Mat".
Part two of this segment was the Eric the Half a Bee song.
[edit] Trivia
- OpenBSD's 3.5 release contained a parody track of both the Fish Licence skit and the Eric the Half a Bee song, titled CARP Licence and Redundancy Must Be Free.
