Before we get going with the links today can you help out a reader with a query. He posed the following question to me and I was stumped.
I hope you can help me.... my wife teaches hearing impaired people methods to deal with their hearing loss. I was telling her about a sketch I remember seeing years ago where John Cleese plays a deaf guy doing the ironing. A voiceover describes the challenges of the hearing impaired to hear a phone ring.....they then announce a great new device...a large helmet with a light on the end of pole dangles in front of John Cleese's eyes. When the phone rings the light flashes...a moment of illumination for John Cleese whereby he lifts up the phone and of course cannot hear what the person calling is saying.
I can't remember whether it was part of a movie or one of the sketches from a Python show but my wife would love to be able to show this to her class to lighten up their frame of mind when things become a little frustrating.
Can you help with either identification of the scene or better still a link to where I could download it please?
