THE must-have book for every Monty Python fan is now in paperback!
Monty Python's Flying Circus: Complete and Annotated... All the
Bits includes every script from every episode of the innovative,
hilarious, and absurd series--one of the most influential of all
time--plus hundreds of annotations, behind-the-scenes stories,
profiles, and more, as well as photographs, drawings, and Terry
Gilliam's iconic artwork. Monty Python's Flying Circus is one of
the most popular, important and oft-quoted comedy series of all
time. This landmark work collects the complete scripts for every
one of the 45 episodes of Flying Circus: every silly setup, every
clever conceit, every snide insult, and ever saucy aside from these
classic skits, including "The Ministry of Silly Walks," "The Dead
Parrot," "Banter in the Cheese Shop," "Spam, the Funniest Joke in
the World," "The Spanish Inquisition," "The Argument Clinic," "The
Fish-Slapping Dance," "The Lumberjack Song," and all the rest.
Every script is thoroughly annotated with notes that cover the
plethora of cultural, historical, and topical references touched
upon in each sketch. Sidebars and commentary throughout include
profiles of the principles -- Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry
Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, and John Cleese -- and
interviews with the cast and crew; fascinating facts about
technical concerns, set design, and shooting locations; insider
stores from on and off the set, including arguments, accidents, and
practical jokes; goofs and gaffes; and much more. Also included are
thousands of stills and artwork from the shows.
