''The Complete And Utter History of Britain'' was a 1969 television comedy sketch show. It was created and written by Michael Palin and Terry Jones between the two series of ''Do Not Adjust Your Set''. It was produced for and broadcast by London Weekend Television but was not shown in other ITV regions. The idea (inspired by a sketch in an earlier show, ''Twice a Fortnight'') was to replay history as if television had been around at the time. Sketches included interviews with the vital characters in the dressing-room after the Battle of Hastings, Samuel Pepys presenting a TV chat-show and an estate agent trying to sell Stonehenge to a young couple looking for their first home ("It's got character, charm and a slab in the middle"). Seven programmes were written and produced, but LWT amalgamated the first two episodes into a single "stronger" (in their opinion) episode, resulting in a six-part series. For many years the entire series was believed to have been wiped. However, copies of the first two episodes (as broadcast) have now been found, as have the complete first two episodes ''as produced''. Terry Jones has expressed dissatisfaction with the show, complaining after a showing of surviving episodes that the pacing was off and the soundtrack all wrong. ==Episodes== * Episode 1, 12 January 1969: From the Dawn of History to the Norman Conquest * Episode 2, 19 January 1969: Richard the Lionheart to Robin the Hood * Episode 3, 26 January 1969: Edward the First to Richard the Last * Episode 4, 2 February 1969: Perkin Warbeck to Bloody Mary * Episode 5, 9 February 1969: The Great and Glorious Age of Elizabeth * Episode 6, 16 February 1969: James the McFirst to Oliver Cromwell 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Complete and Utter History of Britain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
