The sketch was parodied in an episode of The Young Ones.

One might argue that the sketches, largely based on setting up comfortable stereotypes and contexts and then immediately smashing them all to bits, are free of anything conventionally understood to constitute "characters" at all.

This sketch, for example, is a topsy-turvy version of a class conflict within one family.

Cheese Emporium Goes Sci Fi A few years ago, an animator named Damian Surr posted a link on alt.fan.monty-python for fans to download a marvelous piece of animation he did of the Cheese Shop sketch as performed by two Douglas Adamsian characters generated entirely in CG.
Damian intentionally had not watched the Cheese Shop sketch on TV, so his rendition features wonderfully fresh facial and body language, lending the sketch a new life.
Before I did the Cheese Emporium sketch, I had only ever animated one small piece of lip sync (getting the character to speak to the words coming through the audio), and only really used characters one at a time in a scene.

In theory, competitors are aiming to catch the cheese, but since it has a second's head start and can reach speeds up to 70mph (enough to knock over and injure a spectator as it did in 1997), this rarely occurs.

 The Wine & Food Forum at Strat's Place: Culinary Poll No. 23: Say Cheese!
There are so many types of cheese that I love, munching on their own, using for sauces, for quiches, grating over, acompanying fruits, accompanying wine that selection is nearly impossible.
We are aware, bien sur, that the term "chevre" covers many types of cheeses but all made from the milk of goats and the best that we so enjoy with a certain je ne sais quoi level of piquancy that makes them such fine matches to red wines.
Like many people, I love cheese (I have made a printout of Rogov's list because I've never even heard of half of those) but Gorgonzola is the one that gives me the greatest pleasure.
