Details

• Release Year: 1969
• Genre: Classic, Comedy
• Plot: A fathomless source of profound non-sequiturs, from 'I'm a Lumberjack, and I’m OK,” to “This is an ex-parrot!” Monty Python’s Flying Circus has supplanted Shakespeare as the British variety act most quoted by people who haven’t actually seen the original show in the original order as it is here. In fact Monty Python is nearly indistinguishable from Shakespeare, except that the lines don’t rhyme and there are very few bodkins or codpieces. There are, however, British accents and men in drag -- two well-known staples of Shakespearean drama. And most of the members of Monty Python’s Flying circus are still alive. So Shakespeare can just piss off.; ; Episodes 7, 8 & 9 from Season 1; ; Complete with The Lumberjack Song, Dead Parrot -- deceased, bereft of life, expired and gone to meet its maker, an ex-parrot -- as well as Camel Spotting, Aliens Turning Humans Into Scotsmen, Hell's Grannies, full frontal nudity, the Army Protection Racket, and A Man With a Tape Recorder Up His Nose.; ; Episodes 10, 11, 12 & 13 from Season 1; ; Replete with Upperclass Twit of the Year, albatross, Lavatorial Humour, a man who puts bricks to sleep by hypnosis, Interruptions, Police Station Silly Voices, Ken Shabby, Restaurant Abuse and Cannibalism, Historical Impersonations, Pet Conversions, a gorilla librarian and a very silly Psychiatry Sketch.;
