[4] Herbert Anchovy (Michael Palin) goes to the counsellor (John Cleese) seeking a career change.
Anchovy then comes up with the idea of working his way towards lion taming via banking, but soon reveals that he lacks the courage even for that.
As he rambles on, the counsellor delivers a public service announcement to the audience about the dangers of chartered accountancy.
At the end of the film version Eric Idle appears as a fairy to grant Anchovy's wish of seeing his name in lights, whereupon he turns into the host of "Blackmail".
In the Monty Python Live (Mostly) stage show at the O2 (which also features a brief stock shot of a lion, on the overhead screen), the sketch ends with Anchovy telling the counsellor he would rather be... a "systems analyst!"
