List of episodes
"Piranha Brothers" is a Monty Python sketch from the first episode of the second series of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The 14th episode of the series overall, it premiered on BBC1 in the United Kingdom on 15 September 1970. The sketch constitutes a loose pastiche of the real-life story of the Kray twins, gangsters who maintained an underground criminal outfit based in the East End of London in the 1950s and 1960s.[1][2]
A slightly re-worked version of the sketch appeared on the album Another Monty Python Record, released in the UK on 8 October 1971, and in the United States on 21 August 1972. It was also featured in Monty Python's Big Red Book, published in 1971.[3]
