Quotes 

• Eric : Is Monty Python still alive? Well, technically, yes. He is on a wife support system in an old jokes' home in Surrey. When reached for tonight's tribute, he said, "Coo," then asked for a new bedpan. So the legendary wit has not gone with the passing of time... or his colon.

• Eric : Well, John's obviously the cruel heartless bastard.

  Doctor : [archive footage]  Now I know some hospitals where you get the patients lying around in beds.

  Eric : Michael's the sweet, slightly ineffective lower middle class one.

  Silly Walker : [archive footage]  I have a silly walk and I'd like to obtain a government grant to help me develop it.

  Eric : Terry is the ratbag woman.

  [cackles with laughter] 

  Eric : and Gilliam is anything with unpleasant makeup jobs.

• Eric : It's ridiculous, there's no sense to it at all. Why are the Vikings there? Why are they dressed as Vikings? Why are they singing love songs to pressed meat?

• Eric : [about 'Sit on My Face']  Gracie would have loved my version I'm sure.
