The full debate from "Friday Night, Saturday Morning", 9th November 1979.
On
the edition of 9 November 1979, hosted by Tim Rice, a discussion was
held about the then-new film Monty Python's Life of Brian, which been
banned by many local councils and caused protests throughout the world
with accusations that it was blasphemous. To argue in favour of this
accusation were broadcaster and noted Christian Malcolm Muggeridge and
Mervyn Stockwood (the then Bishop of Southwark). In its defence were two
members of the Monty Python team, John Cleese and Michael Palin.
The first part is an interview with Cleese and Palin, the actual debate starts 3 minutes into part 2.
