Reg (Eric Idle): Well, there's no sign of Picasso at the moment, David, but he should be through here at any moment. However, I do have with me Mr Ron Geppo, British Cycling Sprint Champion and this year's winner of the Derby-Doncaster rally.

Geppo (Graham Chapman): Well Reg, I think Pablo should be all right provided he doesn't attempt anything on the monumental scale of some of his earlier paintings, like Guernica or Mademoiselles d'Avignon or even his later War and Peace murals for the Temple of Peace chapel at Vallauris, because with this strong head wind I don't think even Doug Timpson of Manchester Harriers could paint anything on that kind of scale.

Reg: Thank you Ron. Well, there still seems to be no sign of Picasso, so I'll hand you back to the studio.

Announcer: Well, we've just heard that Picasso is approaching the Tolworth roundabout on the A3 so come in Sam Trench at Tolworth!

Trench (John Cleese): Well something certainly is happening here at Tolworth roundabout, David! I can now see Picasso, he's cycling down very hard towards the roundabout, he's about 75-50 yards away and I can now see his painting... it's an abstract... I can see some blue some purple and some little black oval shapes... I think I can see...

Pepperpot (Michael Palin): That's not Picasso - that's Kandinsky.

Trench: Good lord, you're right! It's Kandinsky! Wassily Kandinsky, and who's this here with him? It's Braque! Georges Braque, the Cubist, painting a bird in flight over a cornfield and going very fast down the hill towards Kingston!
