In another thread there was a link to a video of the parody of the debate, but all links I’ve found to the debate itself are dead. Does anyone know where I can see it? It’s John Cleese, Michael Palin, and two religious guys debating the movie “Life of Brian” on tv. A long time ago. Here is an article about it: [Friday Night, Saturday Morning - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_Night,_Saturday_Morning)

It’s not the whole thing, but there are significant excerpts in ‘The Secret Life of Brian’ a documentary about the making of the film. Here is a link to part 4 of 5, the bit you want is about five minutes in.
