October 2009 sees the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the first broadcast of Monty Pythons Flying Circus by BBC TV in 1969. Almost The Truth: The Lawyers Cut tells the story of Monty Python through brand new interviews with the Pythons: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones & Michael Palin and archive material from the late Graham Chapman. A host of others also contribute to putting the Python legacy in context including: Phil Jupitus, Bruce Dickinson, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Russell Brand, Steve Coogan, Stephen Merchant, Dan Aykroyd, Nick Mason, Tim Roth, Simon Pegg, Eddie Izzard and more. The six programmes, each an hour long, combine the interviews with a generous helping of clips from pre-Python material, the original Flying Circus TV series, the films: Monty Python & The Holy Grail, Monty Pythons Life Of Brian & Monty Pythons Meaning Of Life and their classic live performance at the Hollywood Bowl. This is the only official, authorised programme to commemorate Monty Pythons 40th birthday.

  • I thought he was talking about the D Day landings - turns out he was pretending to be a pepper pot

  • "The Cleese Shop"

  • @Picnicl It may not be as clever or origional as many sketches but I think that every once in a while it's nice to be able to laugh at something that is simple "sillyness" as monty python would say.

  • I'm afraid that it wasn't actually that funny a sketch by Monty Python standards. It's overrated and saved, if that, by a few little touches (the musicians and Cleese's reactions to them, Cleese's choice to decline Palin's offer to tell him which cheeses that he actually has, the audience's realisation that he has been a gunslinger who presumably wouldn't care too much about cheese in any case).

    It's not in the same league as the Playwright sketch or the sketch about 'woody' and 'tinny' words.

  • being forced to watch a commercial forces a thumbs down

  • @Lasse2112
