Which Monty Python member narrated the BBC's 2008 flying penguin hoax?

Terry Jones narrated the BBC's 2008 flying penguin hoax.

Jones, a Monty Python member known for his comic performances and directing, appeared as the authoritative presenter in the BBC trailer. His familiar natural-history-documentary style helped make the fictional discovery sound plausible while also giving alert viewers a clue that something unusual was happening.

The trailer claimed that Adélie penguins had regained the ability to fly and migrated from Antarctica to South American rainforests. It was released for April Fools' Day in 2008 and also promoted the BBC iPlayer. The convincing footage combined real penguin material with computer-animated birds.

The other Monty Python names in the answer choices were not the narrator of this production. Jones was filmed separately in a studio with artificial snow and props, then composited with Antarctic footage. The fictional filmmaker's name, “Prof Alid Loyas,” was another joke: it forms an anagram of “April Fools Day.”
