The man who speaks in anagrams
From the 3rd series of Monty Python
Palin: Hello, good evening and welcome to another edition of Blood Devastation Death
War and Horror, and later on we'll be meeting a man who *does* gardening. But first on the
show we've got a man who speaks entirely in anagrams. Idle: Taht si crreoct. Palin: Do you
enjoy it? Idle: I stom certainly od. Revy chum so. Palin: And what's your name? Idle:
Hamrag - Hamrag Yatlerot Palin: Well, Graham, nice to have you on the show. Now, where do
you come from? Idle: Bumcreland. Palin: Cumberland? Idle: Stah't it sepricely. Palin: And
I believe you're working on an anagram version of Shakespeare? Idle: Sey, sey - taht si
crreoct, er - ta the mnemot I'm wroking on "The Mating of the Wersh". Palin:
"The Mating of the Wersh"? By William Shakespeare? Idle: Nay, by Malliwi
Rapesheake. Palin: And what else? Idle: "Two Netlemeng of Verona", "Twelfth
Thing", "The Chamrent of Venice".... Palin: Have you done
"Hamlet"? Idle: "Thamle". 'Be ot or bot ne ot, tath is the nestquoi.'
Palin: And what is your next project? Idle: "Ring Kichard the Thrid". Palin: I'm
sorry? Idle: 'A shroe! A shroe! My dingkom for a shroe!' Palin: Ah, Ring Kichard, yes...
but surely that's not an anagram, that's a spoonerism. Idle: If you're going to split
hairs, I'm going to piss off. (Exit)
