Competition: Fragments of the Holy Hand Grenade (Puzzle)

Finished
Fragments of the Holy Hand Grenade (Puzzle)

You know ‘em. You love ‘em. You have the occasional nightmare of being weighed against a duck because of ‘em. It’s the cast and crew of the Monty Python movie in glorious puzzle format!

Complete the puzzle in the shortest time possible and submit a screenshot to the site. Make sure to show the number of puzzle pieces at the bottom and, since this is a timed competition, only subscribe when you are ready.

It’s also a bit of a long one. So as Tim the Enchanter said: I warned you!

Top placements will be awarded Third Level Crescents. Ties will be broken by subscription-to-submission time. Incomplete puzzles will not be eligible for placement.
