Try to convince Fien of that!
Hey, Fien, did you hear this?

In 1971 the Pythons produced a couple of shows called Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus (mostly original material with only a few hints of their BBC work) in German and (at least in the first show, I'm not sure for the other(s)) they spoke German themselves!
Speaking of MPFC, I started playing adventure games thanks to it: I was always a HUGE fan, and my whole adventure gamer career began when I heard there was a Python game called Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time.

As I already said - you hit the mark!
Thank you one more time.
Cheers!
