Cheese Shop sketch

The script for the sketch is included in the 1989 book The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words, Volume 2.

The idea for the sketch came after a day of shooting in Folkestone Harbour, where John Cleese became seasick and threw up repeatedly while trying to deliver a line.

A slow crescendo of bouzouki music plays in the background performed by Joe Moretti, as Terry Jones and Graham Chapman dance while dressed in bowler hats and business suits.

As Cleese lists increasingly obscure, unsavoury, and, in one instance fictional,[6] cheeses to no avail, the proprietor offers weak excuses such as "Ohh!

Palin answers "no" the second time, and Cleese immediately shoots him, then muses, "What a senseless waste of human life!"
