Monty Python's success was a fluke of timing, Michael Palin has said. The 71-year-old attributed the troupe's legacy to the fact the show came out just as the BBC stopped routinely wiping shows from its archive, so it could reuse the tapes.

BBC News, 1st June 2014

Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse skewered the entire output of BBC2 over the past 50 years in Harry and Paul's Story of the Twos, and not even that kindly. Enfield, as Alan Bennett, as a Talking Heads Stalin, torn between curtain-fussery and genocide, was the most surreal vision this perfect pair have ever concocted, but worked: as did their evisceration of such sacred cows as Monty Python, I Claudius and Have I Got News For You. It was wonderfully written, and brave, and I'd like to think that all the famous targets decked themselves with laughter. Mr Cleese may have even ventured a smile.
