A man, played by John Cleese, is dressed as an ice-cream girl in a cinema, although instead of the regular cinema snacks she is selling a dead
albatross which is tied to a hawker tray
around her neck. A man (Terry Jones) approaches her and asks for two
choc ices. The girl aggressively makes clear she only sells an albatross and continues shouting to draw attention to her merchandise, while the potential customer keeps asking questions about the product, like "What flavour is it?" and "Do you get wafers with it?". Finally, the man buys two albatrosses for nine
pence each. The salesgirl then shouts she is selling "
gannet on a stick." Later during the episode, several other characters in other sketches shout "Albatross!" for seemingly no reason at all. ==Other appearances==
