Synopsis

Its… The best of series one of Monty Pythons Flying Circus

Film

This compilation DVD features some of the best ever Monty Python sketches, such as The 127th Upper-class Twit of the Year Competition from Hurlington Park, Bicycle Repair Man, Vicious Gangs Of Old Ladies, The Man With Three Buttocks, The Lumberjack Song, Vocational Guidance Councillor, The Joke That Kills People, The Ex-Parrot Sketch, and loads more.

For any Python fan this DVD is a must watch, and hopefully the BBC will release the other series on DVD soon. Also this DVD is educational as well as being funny, there is a section telling you what to do if some one attacks you with fresh fruit, the animated menus even follow the Python tradition. Being old film stock, and pre-stereo days, the picture and sound can only be classed as average.

One noteworthy point is that Monty Python has a huge cult following in the States and since this is a region two DVD, the Americans will not be able to watch it.
