(Hint - She is a regular contributor >to the troupe and teamed with John Cleese to write and star in >"Fawlty Towers".) This I do know. She says, "It's a fair cop," meaning, as I understand it, "they caught me fair and square." You can find this information in the book "Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Book)", which contains the first and last versions of the script, along with all the credits, financial information, and lots of neat pictures. By the way, the witch is Connie Booth. Jim Tubman University of Waterloo
