74. Monty Python returned to television in England on this date, with 13 shows that ran until January 18, 1973. The first 4 had actually been filmed in 1971. They seem to have been off the air there since Demember 1970, with new shows at least.

 

It is more that likely that the violence of the episode "Salad Days" (aired in England on November 30, 1972) influenced me to do the splatter film of February 1973...
