The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)

“The Spanish Inquisition” is a series of sketches in Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Series 2 Episode 2, first broadcast 22 September 1970, parodying the real-life Spanish Inquisition. This episode is itself entitled “The Spanish Inquisition”. The sketches are notable for their principal catchphrase, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”, which has become a frequently used quote. The end of the sketch uses music from the composition “Devil’s Galop” by Charles Williams. Rewritten audio versions of the sketches were included on Another Monty Python Record in 1971.
