Ripping Yarns

Ripping Yarns was a British television comedy series loosely in the style of Monty Python's Flying Circus, written by former Pythons Michael Palin and Terry Jones. Each episode neatly parodied some pre-war schoolboy genre or other.

• "Tomkinson's Schooldays" (repeat of pilot with series title sequence added)
• "The Testing of Eric Olthwaite"
• "Escape from Stalag Luft 112 B"
• "Murder at Moorstones Manor"
• "Across the Andes by Frog"
• "The Curse of the Claw"
