All good things must come to an end. And so it was with Monty Python's Flying Circus, the most outrageously off-the-wall and brilliantly silly Comedy of All Time.
After four seasons of inspired lunacy, the Pythons hung up their TV spurs and became superheroes, repeatedly saving the world from diabolical villains and menacing threats from outer space.
But fear not! Their pre-heroic exploits are available to you on this gloriously remastered and utterly complete DVD of the Complete Fourth Season featuring such gems as "Buying an Ant", "The Batsmen of the Kalahari" and "The Golden Age of Ballooning".

We know him best for his unforgettable roles on Monty Python - from
the Flying Circus to The Meaning of Life. Now, Eric Idle reflects
on the meaning of his own life in this entertaining memoir that
takes us on a remarkable journey from his childhood in an austere
boarding school through his successful career in comedy,
television, theatre and film. Coming of age as a writer and
comedian during the Sixties and Seventies, Eric stumbled into the
crossroads of the cultural revolution and found himself rubbing
shoulders with the likes of George Harrison, David Bowie and Robin
Williams, all of whom became dear lifelong friends. With anecdotes
sprinkled throughout involving other close friends and luminaries
such as Mike Nichols, Mick Jagger, Steve Martin, Paul Simon, Lorne
Michaels, and many more, as well as the Pythons themselves, Eric
captures a time of tremendous creative output with equal parts
hilarity and heart. In Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,
named for the song he wrote for Life of Brian and which has since
become the number one song played at funerals in the UK, he shares
the highlights of his life and career with the kind of offbeat
humour that has delighted his audiences for five decades. The year
2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of The Pythons and Eric is
marking the occasion with this hilarious memoir chock full of
behind-the-scenes stories from a high-flying life featuring
everyone from Princess Leia to Queen Elizabeth. Written and read by

This is the definitive, the official, the most lavish, the
completely-different-to-anything-done-before Pythons'
autobiography, reissued to coincide with the eagerly-anticipated
live shows. Over forty years ago, a group of five Englishmen - and
one wayward American - rewrote the rules of comedy. MONTY PYTHON'S
FLYING CIRCUS, an unheralded, previously unseen half-hour show of
sketches, hilarities, inanities and animations, first appeared on
the BBC late one night in 1969. Its impact has been felt on the
world ever since. From its humble beginnings, it blossomed into the
most influential movement in modern comedy. THE PYTHONS'
AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY THE PYTHONS is a unique look at arguably the most
important comic team of the modern age, with 64 pages of
photographs, many culled from the team's own personal collections,
many more seen for the first time. This is the definitive word on
all things Pythonesque.

Collection of four comedies following the Griswold family's
vacations. In 'National Lampoon's Vacation' (1983), the West Coast
Wally World theme park is the Griswold's holiday destination, and
they intend to drive there cross-country all the way from their
Chicago home. Father Clark (Chevy Chase) has planned the trip down
to its last detail, but the trouble begins as soon as they hit the
road. In 'National Lampoon's European Vacation' (1985), the family
win a holiday to Europe. Contrary to their expectations, however,
it is not a luxurious, all-expenses-paid kind of trip, but rather a
cut-price, economy deal which takes them to some of the Old World's
seedier locations. Of course, it's not long before they are caught
up in all manner of misadventures. In 'National Lampoon's Christmas
Vacation' (1989), the Griswolds decide to spend the Christmas
season at home. Needless to say, it is not as quiet as they had
planned. Finally, in 'Vegas Vacation' (1997), the clan head for the
gleaming lights of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Clark is soon
transformed into a compulsive gambler, daughter Audrey (Marisol
Nichols) becomes an exotic dancer and son Rusty (Ethan Embry)
begins posing as a suave high roller.
