 | Annotations to "You're the Top". And, on a related note (drumroll), this review of Spamelot does appear to back up my suspicion, honed over decades, that Monty Python gags are not as funny when Monty Python are not making them, and there's a law of diminishing returns even then. In much the same way, the final Radio 4 series of the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy seemed primarily to be fanfiction with an unusually impressive cast. I want Spamelot to be great, not least because in my fantasy world, Hank Azaria, Tim Curry and David Hyde Pierce bestride continents as if gods, and also combine their robot lion spaceships with Janeane Garofalo and Yeardleey Smith to form some sort of giant underappreciated character actor. with laser eyes.
