The final episode of the first season began unusually with a break, followed by a sketch from an extremely strange vegetarian restaurant. The very short sketch with the albatross had an incredibly strong impact on me, and even now I occasionally dream that I hear John Cleese shouting, "Albatross!" The beginning of the police sketches reminded me very much of the movie "The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians," and I also enjoyed the Historical Imitations and the visit to the psychiatrist. So, the end of the first season was successful, and onwards to the second season!
