condemnation, he lets the show move on to an outdoor hermit sketch. He then interrupts this sketch in the middle of a scene, forcing the actors and, in fact, the entire filming crew to desert the set. Afterwards, he later interrupts the famous Dead Parrot sketch, when after Mr Praline calls the situation too silly, the Colonel bursts in on the scene, expressing his agreement and demanding that the show "Get on with it!” The Colonel lastly appears in this episode during the documentary sketch about "Hell’s Grannies", when a vicar (Eric Idle) is attacked by a vicious gang of keep-left signs. The Colonel effectively ends the episode, by staring straight into the camera and saying "Now for a complete change of mood". Other appearances The Colonel has made appearances in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl, at Pink Floyd's 1975 concert at Knebworth UK, and in a May 1982 episode of Saturday Night Live in which the character is used to comment on NBC's earlier refusal to air a commercial (featuring Chapman as the Colonel) for the Amnesty International benefit The Secret Policeman's Other Ball. Archive footage of the Colonel was used in Monty Python Live (Mostly) for 2014. The surviving members of Monty Python sent a "boot-shaped floral arrangement" to Graham Chapman's funeral, which included the phrase "stop us if we're all getting too silly", in recognition of his role as The Colonel.
