MONTY PYTHON - "THE MAN WHO TALKS IN ANAGRAMS"

Palin: Hello, good evening and welcome to another edition of Blood Devastation Death War and Horror, and later on we'll be talking to a man who does gardening. But our first guest in the studio tonight is a man who talks entirely in anagrams.

Idle: Taht si crreoct.

Idle: I stom certainly od. Revy chum so.

Palin: And what's your name?

Idle: Hamrag - Hamrag Yatlerot.

Palin: Well, Graham, nice to have you on the show. Now, where do you come from?

Idle: Bumcreland.

Palin: Cumberland?

Idle: Stah't it sepricely.

Palin: And I believe you're working on an anagram version of Shakespeare?

Idle: Sey, sey - taht si crreoct, er - ta the mnemot I'm wroking on "The Mating of the Wersh".

Palin: "The Mating of the Wersh"? By William Shakespeare?

Idle: Nay, by Malliwi Rapessheake.

Palin: And what else?

Idle: "Two Netlemeng of Verona", "Twelfth Thing", "The Chamrent of Venice"...

Palin: Have you done "Hamlet"?

Idle: "Thamle". 'Be ot or bot ne ot, tath is the nestquoi.'

Palin: And what is your next project?

Idle: "Ring Kichard the Thrid".

Palin: I'm sorry?

Idle: 'A shroe! A shroe! My dingkom for a shroe!'

Palin: Ah, Ring Kichard, yes... but surely that's not an anagram, that's a spoonerism.

Idle: If you're going to split hairs, I'm going to piss off.
