Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Among the body parts identified are the Foot, the Other Foot, the Shoulder, Just Above the Elbow, Margaret Thatcher's Brain, and several Naughty Bits (including those of Reginald Maulding). The faculty members of the University of Woolamaloo perform "The Philosophers' Song." Sir Adrian Furrows is revealed to have a polystyrene nose. The menace of the Killer Cats is thwarted by the invasion of the Gigantic Killer Cats. The death of Mary Queen of Scots is broadcast to a nationwide audience, resulting in an exploding radio (the TV also explodes thanks to a booby-trapped penguin). And while investigating a burglary (or is it a murder?), Chief Inspector Zatapatique performs the contest-winning song "Bing Tiddle Tiddle Bong." First telecast November 25, 1970, "How to Recognize Different Parts of the Body" features an honor roll of Python supporting players, including Carol Cleveland and The Fred Tomlinson Singers (of "The Lumberjack Song" fame).
