I seem to remember the Pythons on their reunion tour (particularly Eric Idle), talking about the 'German' Python series. Statements like " Ve haff no sense of humour and ve vould like you to help us get one" and them also talking about "Writing the scripts, getting them translated into German and then having to learn them phonetically".

I don't know about the latter, but the former was true only of the first episode of the pair. Michael Palin says that to this day, he can still sing "das Holzfäller-Lied" in German, having had to learn it phonetically. --JohnDBuell 22:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reaction

I would be intrigued to know how the episodes were received ? Are there any reviews ? Does the existence of only two episodes imply failure ? Did it change the face of German comedy - any native homages ? de.wikipedia.org doesn't help much. --195.137.93.171 (talk) 17:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
