John Cleese has been mocked online for asking why the BBC hasn't shown Monty Python "for a couple of decades".
The actor and comedian, 83, appeared to ask the question in all innocence - forgetting that they had sold the rights to their films and sketch show.
Monty Python started as a comedy troupe made up of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, the late Terry Jones and Graham Chapman.
