The Rutles(?)

Hi ya' all. Does anyone remember a Monte Python T^V flim from years ago that was a satirical look at The Beatles? It was called All you need is cash I thought it was the funniest thing in the world. And I'm a huge fan of The Beatles. Not to mention, Monty Python (OH! I just did!):p
 
Oh yeah! It's a classic. I'm pretty sure it's on DVD, it's at least on VHS because I have it on that format.

Also, they made an album to go with the original special which should still be available on CD from Rhino Records. There was a second album called Archaeology that was made to capitalize on the Beatles Anthology albums, but I heard it's terrible.
 
It wasn't a Monty Python project as such, it was part of a TV series by Eric Idle called Rutland Weekend Television after the Python TV series had finished. He wrote the songs with Neil Innes I think. I haven't seen All You Need is Cash, which was the spin-off film I think, but I suspect the fact that Rutland Weekend Television hasn't been repeated means it was probably not very good.
 
Thanks for the info Shade. I hadn't heard of Rutland Weekend... But Fenster's right about All you need is cash. It indeed was a classic. Beatle Historians laughed outloud.
I heard about Archaeology but never saw it. Both are available on Amazon (my personal favorite bookseller).
 
I remember a scene where the narrator is in the underground club where The Rutles first appeared. The lights go out, and you hear him say "A rat's just run up my leg"
