| 0:07.0 | UK. And now for something completely different. The Flaying circus! Oh, Hello you and welcome to another episode of Luke's English podcast this one is all about British comedy and so I think it's very appropriate for |
| 0:57.4 | me to adopt a serious tone, a sober approach to such an important and relevant subject as bricic comedy. |
| 1:08.8 | So that's why I'm speaking in this serious voice because it would be inappropriate for me to be kind of frivolous |

| 2:58.3 | we're gonna break your legs, you understand. |
| 3:00.9 | So I had to do an episode about Monty Python I mean not just |
