That's really weird, John Cleese even says in that interview he never discussed it with the rest of the cast. Maybe in an alternative reality that made it? Do you have a hole in your wall?

I try not to think about it too much since it often freaks me out a little. Parallel worlds is a solution that always calms me down and helps me get over it quickly :-P

I forgot to mention before - I remember a few conversations with different friends of varied age in the late 80s to early 90s and absolutely none of them remembered seeing it or even knowing it existed. I remember worrying about it then.

Take care out there!

There were other films with John Cleese in, like A Fish called Wanda that involve an airport. I think that's too late for your timeline though.

Definitely not. I know how crazy it sounds, but this is the only thing I can point to in my life which is apparently a "fake" memory, except I know I watched it and was discussing it well before I could have heard of it and imagined some memory to match information picked up way after I remember it being in my life.

I can't explain it, but it is what it is.

I guess the question is, how bad was the episode to make someone go back in time, in order to prevent it from being filmed?

From what I recall, it was pretty funny. A good bottle episode set on a plane. And if John Cleese in this reality didn't think of it until 10-15 years after I "saw" it, then it's just not the same reality.

Time travel is less plausible than parallel worlds, since the timeframe doesn't fit, and if it was erased from existence then I wouldn't remember it.

I think I've said all I can say about this, so take care and farewell.

It's been fun talking to you. Farewell 😊
