    I’m seeing John Cleese carrying a clipboard, alongside some hapless customer or client or something, in Monty Python’s Flying Circus, but am unable to remember which sketch it was: “Ah! Yes. Can do… but won’t!”

        Imagine that… someone made a clip of that exact line - and nothing else - on YouTube five years ago! Amazing. And thank you!

        Ok, he’s saying it to Graham Chapman, when my glitching memory saw Michael Palin or Terry Jones hazily… and erroneously.
        From what I recall, Cleese is a sketch assembly supervisor or something meta like that, after the sketch is over he is denying giving a lift back to Chapman, having transported him to the sketch location in the first place.

        And that’s as far as my memory will take it. I can’t remember what the sketch was, what comes before or after… zip. Nada. Zilch.
