How to Irritate People

Recorded at London Weekend Television in November 1968, this one-off special came together before Monty Python existed, with a script from John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor. Ian Fordyce directs it as a mock instructional documentary, with Cleese presenting himself as a guide to the art of irritating people. Cleese (Himself) leads the lesson, and Brooke-Taylor, Chapman, Palin and Connie Booth turn up in a string of different roles.
