Terry Jones plays a man in a striped coat and white trousers, wandering around Brighton, who every time he thinks he's found a spot to disrobe finds someone there to watch him. It builds to the point where he end up on stage with an audience before him, and he decides to disrobe to the tune of "The Stripper," ending with the legend, "It's a Man's Life Taking Your Clothes Off in Public," prompting Graham Chapman's Army Colonel to threaten the show if they keep abusing the Army's slogan of the day. (This ultimately builds to the "Lemming of the BDA" sketch,after which Graham does shut things down.)<br /><br />Then again, how can you limit yourself to just 20? Tough task, that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
