Following a television interview in which Graham Chapman mentioned (not for the first time) that he was a homosexual, the Pythons received a letter from an enraged woman who said she heard an "anonymous" member of Monty Python had confessed to being gay. She enclosed several pages of prayers for his salvation and said that if he repeated them every single day he might acquire some form of purgatory. Eric Idle replied to her saying that they had found out who it was and had stoned him. Shortly thereafter, John Cleese left the show for the last season. The woman never wrote back.
The BBC made the Pythons edit out the word "masturbation" from the "All-England Summarize Proust Competition", in which one of the contestants (Graham Chapman) claimed his hobbies included "golf, strangling small animals and masturbation". While the vocal track was edited to remove the last word, the huge laugh from the audience remained in the final recording. During one of the negotiation meetings on the topic, Eric Idle reportedly asked the head of the BBC, "Everyone masturbates. Don't you masturbate, sir?" He was not given a response.

Erm, good afternoon all, and as usual I've got two legs... er, no. I've got a question. IMDB says that our very own John Cleese is a vegatarian. Wiki says that our very own Eric Idle is a vegetarian. I'm confused. Are they or are they not ? Do anyone of you know for sure ? The only thing I know for sure is that Michael Palin is not. I saw him eating meat. Have a good day everyone.
I've been uploading more Rutland Weekend Television clips to YouTube. You can find them HERE. I'll be adding more sketches over the next few days, which means more Eric. Enjoy!
