the old footage

Saw this on the weekend and loved it. I own all the old TV Series on DVD but cannot find three clips shown as part of the filmed production.

The 1st runners with no sense of direction: the 2nd swimmers who couldn't swim and sunk to the bottom of the pool and 3rd the runners who suffered from incontinence. Should I go back and watch all the DVD's to see if I missed it or was the footage from somewhere else. If anyone knows I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

I think these clips are from "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" from
1982

Thanks for the reply.That explains why I didn't recognize it I didn't see "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl".

It's a sketch that was first done in the first episode of the German show (Fliegender Zirkus); footage of it has then been shown both in 'Hollywood Bowl' and in this. The original version is in German and is a bit longer, including other funny specialties such as the race of the runners with their own mothers.

Oh, gosh, the race for incontinents! I still laugh so hard everytime I see it! 
