Subj : Spike Milligan cameo in Holy Grail To : All From : Newsgroups Date : Mon Aug 18 2008 09:30 pm From: Newsgroups Hi group, The Spike Milligan cameo in 'Life of Brian' is well-recognised, but did Spike Milligan *also* had a cameo role in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'? There are two quick shots in the 'Burn the Witch' scene that look awfully like him. The first shot is when the crowd of peasants are rushing towards Bedivere with the witch in tow. The Eric Idle peasant holding the sickle calls out, 'We've found a witch', and shortly afterwards, the Michael Palin peasant puts his face in the camera and says, 'We've got a witch'. Almost imemdiately after that, we see a white-haired man in the crowd with shaving cream on his face. The second shot is immediately after the witch has been placed onto the scales. There is a quick shot of the same white-heaired man with shaving cream on his face, framed between a youth with a hat and a man with a beard. The shots are otherwise unimportant, and seem to be there precisely in order to serve as vehicles for a cameo. They look like Milligan, even underneath the shaving cream. I can't find any previous discussion on this matter. Any thoughts? Douglas --- NewsGate v1.0 gamma 2 * Origin: News Gate @ Net396 - Meridian, MS - USA (1:396/4) .
