The highly talented and hilarious Monty Python crew are back again with some more highly comical and silly stunts.

This time King Arthur and his knights embark on a quest for the Holy Grail. Things aren't made easy for the knights as due to a severe shortage of horses in the kingdom all the horses have been replaced by servants banging two halves of coconuts together.
