A man in an evening dress is sitting in a cage at the zoo (the
Announcer). He says "And now for something completely different."
In the cage beside him is The "It's" Man, who holds the bars while announcing:
after some silliness
The Announcer is still sitting in his cage "Well, that's all for now and so until next week." followed by a roar. The camera goes to the left and there is a shot of the skeleton of The "It's" Man.
In the far distance we see a man "running" over a hill. It's in fact NOT The "It's" Man, as it is Terry Jones in a construction made of a bike and wings attached to his back who is trying to get enough momentum to fly. After he crashes we see the Announcer at a desk on the beach (cluttered with people who have landed there on previous attempts to fly, for instance with two balloons) saying "And now for something completly different.", followed by a shot of The "It's" Man announcing:
after some silliness
