      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)
