So, Graham Chapman, Cleese, Palin, and Jones all got their first serious writing jobs working for Mary Feldman on a show called At Last The 1948 Show on BBC in the mid-late 60s. Rejected skits were rewritten and used for Flying Circus.

Michael Palin remembers: “Marty tended to be doing more and more of the physical comedy which he enjoyed doing. He became very Harpo Marx in those routines. There was a feeling that he didn’treally like doing lines. He could do them, brilliantly... Terry and I writing more visual items for him. There was a sketch called ‘The Clothists’ about a group of people who shock the nudist community by wearing clothes. Marty enjoyed all of that.”
