... is I hope contained in LJ.

I'm looking for a particular Monty Python sketch. I think it's from the Flying Circus TV program, and what I want to know is to confirm that that's so and learn which episode it is. I can take it from there. But I evidently don't remember enough about it to find it in an online search, even of the complete text of the program.

It features an elderly and extremely distinguished gentleman, played (I believe) by Michael Palin. He's being called upon to make a speech of some sort, but his brain keeps freezing up and he gets stuck. His nurse (?) has to whack him over the head (? or something) to jiggle it loose and get it going again - if briefly.

Can anybody find this one? Again: if it's in the Flying Circus, all I need is an identification, by number or some better-known sketch, of which program.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
