A 1974 letter from Python Pictures has surfaced online, detailing the cuts the British censor wanted to make to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
In order to get an A rating (the 1970s equivalent of a PG) it was suggested that they:
“lose as many shits as possible”
“Take Jesus Christ out, if possible”
And my particular favourite:
“Lose I fart in your general direction”
The hilarious letter can be seen in full below:
