| Trivia | This is the only Monty Python work, either on television or film, where any of the troop members plays a single character throughout. Michael Palin only appears as Mr. Pither, and Terry Jones plays Mr. Gulliver. Terry Gilliam also appeared onscreen in several episodes as only one character, but also provided voices for his animations in those episodes. See more » |
