A hilariously brilliant episode. I enjoyed the meeting about taxing you-know-what and the courtroom shenanigans. The classic texts conveyed through various signaling methods were a treat, but the devious Spanish Inquisition completely stole the show — I didn’t see that coming at all. It’s one of my favorite roles by Michael Palin. The inhumane application of soft cushions and the twisted use of the comfy chair might unsettle the faint-hearted, but the Inquisition was just that ruthless.
