I wonder if any subscribers to this ng attended one of the original "Brian"
cinema screenings in 1979-1980 and recall a cute 3-minute Terry Gilliam cartoon
called "Don The Cockroach", which aired immediately before the astonishing
Nigel Farquhar-Bennett-narrated travelogue "Away From It All"? I can still
recall what Don looked like and his facial expression... and the fact that he
gleefully scuttled up and down the floorboards before being suddenly flattened
(I don't remember by what!)

As I understand it, "Away From It All" has been included on the "Brian" deluxe
DVD set but "Don The Cockroach" never made it, and sadly is perhaps lost
forever.  Given the Pythons' completeness in other areas of their work this
omission surprises me.
