CAUTION!! PROFANITY WARNING!! RUDE WORDS FOLLOW>>>!!!

Chapman's memorial service was televised a few years ago (or at least
bits
of it), and I think this is where JC did the bit you mention. The part
that
really sticks in my mind was when he (JC) said: "Graham (Chapman)'s
writing
allowed me to be the first person to say "SH*T" on the BBC; I would
therefore like to be the first person to say "F*CK" at a British
memorial
service...."
