  Monty Python - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Monty' was chosen as a tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, a legendary British general of the 2nd world war, and the team agreed that they wanted a 'slippery' sounding name as well.

 Monty Hall
In our problem, the contestant chooses door A and Monty opens B and we want to know the probability that C has the car given that Monty opens B. Now, all the probabilities relevant to Monty opening B are shown inside a square in the diagram.
However, it is conceivable that Monty might do this if he decides that if he reveals the prize he will move items around and run the whole scenario again until a goat is revealed (and recorded TV has the advantage of only broadcasting this moment).
If Monty offers the switch only when the contestant has correctly chosen the prize door A then there is zero probability that the car is behind door C. Here, there is definitely no advantage to the contestant in switching.

 The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This Inquisition has a hard time starting to inquisit, as they get bogged down in recitations of their chief weapons, among which are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms.
In the original Monty Python's Flying Circus TV episode (episode 15), the Spanish Inquisition makes several "unexpected" appearances, until at the very end of the show they were caught by surprise.
As the closing credits roll the Inquisitors race to where they weren't expected, only to arrive just as the words THE END appear, Ximinez crying "Nobody expects the Sp...oh, bugger!" (which, incidentally, was a strong word for a BBC comedy show at the time, and some BBC regions omitted it from the broadcast).
