Monty Python's Flying Circus, Series 1
Interviewer:
Ron, now let's just get this quite clear - you're intending to jump across the English Channel?
Ron Obvious:
Oh yes, that is correct, yes.
Interviewer:
And, er, just how far is that?
Ron Obvious:
Oh, well it's 26 miles from here to Calais.
Interviewer:
And that's to the beach of Calais?
Ron Obvious:
Well, no, no, provided I get a good lift off and maybe a gust of breeze over the French coast, I shall be jumping into the centre of Calais itself. [Shows brief clip of some Frenchmen in Calais standing under a sign that says "Fin de Cross Channel Jump"]
Interviewer:
Ron are you using any special techniques to jump this great distance?
Ron Obvious:
Oh no, no. I shall be using an ordinary two-footed jump, er, straight up in the air and across the Channel.
Interviewer:
I see. Er, Ron, what is the furthest distance that you've jumped, er, so far?
Ron Obvious:
Er, oh, eleven foot six inches at Motspur Park on July 22nd. Er, but I have done nearly twelve feet unofficially.
