Further details
Eric Idle kicks things off, reporting live from the 'Bollywood Howl' as a newscaster conducting interviews with various colourful individuals about what they thought about him.
Among the interviewees are Idle's mother and a former Nazi soldier living in South America (both played by Idle), who offer their wild and wacky opinions on the man who brought the phrase 'nudge nudge, wink wink' and the song Always Look on the Bright Side of Life into popular culture.
