Short extract from Eric Idle's original non cockney version of 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life'. (From the July 1977 script read through).
@JonTrevithick Yes it really needed the cockney didn’t it. How the hell do you find these things. I only recently found this...
@EricIdle It's on the bluray special features. 1977 read through.
@EricIdle @JonTrevithick Wow a wonderful song takes a quantum leap up sung in cockney. Reminds me of @JohnCleese's story bout how hitting the mini bonnet in Fawlty Towers with smaller&larger sized branches just wasn't funny, then BANG! the hilarious right sized branch is like a camera coming into focus.
@EricIdle @JonTrevithick Do you still have the original fag packet it was written on? Must be worth a bomb now!
@EricIdle @JonTrevithick Makes you realize how important a dose of Cockney can be. Lifts it into the stratosphere!
@EricIdle @JonTrevithick That’s just fabulous. And so are you Eric!
@EricIdle @JonTrevithick Your absolutely right.Was watching the film this evening still makes me laugh and is the best python film
@EricIdle @JonTrevithick Should have been in geordie...!
