- Eric Idle, after Monty Python, made a TV series called Rutland Weekend Television, which was a spoof on London Weekend Television. Rutland is the smallest county in England. From there it's a small step to The Rutles. Submitted by: sloftslime

Backwards Messages:
"Piggy In The Middle"
Right after the second verse, something that mocks the Paul is Dead rumor ("Stig is dead, honestly") can be heard. It is really Neil Innes saying "tekram ot tnew yggip elttil sihT," which is, of course, "This little piggy went to market" in reverse.
