Watch the side-splitting moment John Cleese reprises the classic French Taunter role from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
In a first look teaser clip of what GB News fans can expect from his new show, The Dinosaur Hour, the legendary comedian comes face to face with the iconic character.
Approaching a grand old castle, in which the show is set, Cleese and his crew receive a firm rebuttal from the playful taunter, who brands him a “quarter-witted son of a cabbage hunter”.
Told by Cleese “we are filming a television show”, adding “we made arrangements”, the knight instructs the star: “Go and boil your bottom”.

Appearing on the scene is a suited Lewis Schaffer, who follows Cleese’s request to “throw him off the ramparts”.
Throwing up little opposition, Schaffer flings the infamous French Taunter to his apparent doom.
The brand new teaser comes ahead of the series opener this Sunday at 9pm, in a show which Cleese has “complete creative freedom”.
The Fawlty Towers star joined forces with Free Speech Nation star Andrew Doyle who takes on the role of executive producer.
The fun-filled 10-part series features a plethora of A-list names such as Stephen Fry, Caitlin Jenner, Tim Rice and Trevor McDonald.
“It’s a show for the out of touch. All the dinosaurs who are out of touch”, he said on Free Speech Nation.

A trailer released earlier this month shows the Life of Brian star engaged in conversation with some of Britain’s brightest minds as he sought to make a programme that “looked different”.
Speaking after the trailer’s first airing on GB News, the comedy legend gave an insight into how he pictured she show.
“I wanted the setting to be like a strange gentleman’s club. It was extraordinary. I wanted it to be like the Star Wars bar”, he said.
“I wanted to create something that looked different, it would make people think, ‘oh, what’s that about?”
Andrew Doyle said he found the filming process “fun and interesting” as he spoke on the show’s “unpredictable” nature.
Cleese’s previous appearances on the People’s Channel have come alongside the likes of Michelle Dewberry, Andrew Doyle and Camilla Tominey.
Now, the entertainment icon will be heading up the bill with his star-studded bill of guests from across the industry.
The Dinosaur Hour with John Cleese will air Sunday 29 October at 9pm.
