Potty-mouthed letter about censor's Holy Grail decision

We're grateful to the fabulous @LettersofNote for sharing this brilliant letter sent by film producer Mark Forstater back in the day about cuts that were required by the BBFC if Monty Python And The Holy Grail was to be given an A certificate. The dialogue he outlines will be familiar to anyone who's seen the film (everyone, then). It's a potty-mouthed delight.

Review: Spamalot, Sunderland Empire

Always look on the bright side of life, the cast tells us. In that case, at least Mark Forstater is making a bit of cash.

Producer: Holy Grail wasn't funny until I came along

Mark Forstater, the producer of Monty Python and the Holy Grail who is suing for a share in the profits of Spamalot, claimed today that he "co-created" the cult comedy film and even made suggestions about the plot.
