John Cleese and Marty Feldman performed the original version of "Bookshop" for At Last the 1948 Show (episode airing 1 March 1967 on ITV). Another version of the sketch was later performed by Bob Hope on one of his mid-1980s TV specials for NBC.
"Sit on My Face" and "Never Be Rude to an Arab" were performed as part of the film Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Years later, Michael Palin was filmed singing a verse from "Finland" during an episode of his 1992 travelogue series Pole to Pole during a segment in which he is shown traveling across that country. A heavily edited version of "Finland" is used as the opening song of the stage musical Spamalot (ending with a historian exasperatedly yelling "I said England!")
