fact be stranger than fictions

Random download from the internet today ….. “Monty Python in Aberystwyth,” a new BBC documentary. So here’s the deal:
Monty Python’s Life of Brian was banned upon release in many cities in the UK. A reporter uncovers the fact that 30 years later, it’s still banned in the Welsh city of Aberystwyth and further discovers that the current mayor of that city is none other than Sue Jones-Davies, who played Judith in the film.
So yes, to cut a long story short, she gets the ban overturned and there’s a charity screening in the town, and Jones and Palin show up for it.
And respectable society crumbles and the residents of this once god-fearing town are all turned into pillars of salt. Okay, not so much.
No, nothing earth shattering, but a good enough way to pass 30 minutes when I can’t figure out what to do with myself just yet.
