Revered by many as the most influential comedy series ever, Monty Python's Flying Circus is a TV institution. Never released before on DVD, this collection of six releases includes brand new material of the Pythons introducing their favourite moments from the show. Monty Python’s Personal Bests is out to buy on DVD and UMDTM Video from 13th November 2006, courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
Monty Python’s Personal Bests is six outrageous DVDs showcasing the groundbreaking comedians with exclusive new footage and original clips. Each of the five living Pythons, JOHN CLEESE, TERRY GILLIAM, ERIC IDLE, TERRY JONES and MICHAEL PALIN, produced and wrote his own episode, and collaborated to create the sixth special in honour of deceased member Graham Chapman.
"Nudge, nudge, wink, wink", there’s a host of classic scenes from the TV series including sketches such as The Dead Parrot, Hell's Grannies and the Inflammatory Hungarian Phrase Book, plus essential new material and interviews. Monty Python’s Flying Circus burst onto the scene in October 1969 and ran for 45 episodes until December 1974. The cradle where much of the troupe’s irreverent absurdity was born, the Flying Circus sketches are as fresh and as funny as the first time that they were aired!
