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".

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
From the time, many years ago, when Michael Palin first heard that
his grandfather had a brother, Harry, who died in tragic
circumstances, he was determined to find out more about him. The
quest that followed involved hundreds of hours of painstaking
detective work. Michael dug out every bit of family gossip and
correspondence he could. He studied every relevant official
document. He tracked down what remained of his great-uncle Harry's
diaries and letters, and pored over photographs of First World War
battle scenes to see whether Harry appeared in any of them. He
walked the route Harry took on that fatal, final day of his life
amid the mud of northern France. And as he did so, a life that had
previously existed in the shadows was revealed to him. Great-Uncle
Harry is an utterly compelling account of an ordinary man who led
an extraordinary life. A blend of biography, history, travelogue
and personal memoir this is Michael Palin at his very finest.

We may think we know Sarah Palin from all the coverage she has
received in the political arena, but one-side depictions but media
coverage is limited and, Sarah would even say, biased. OUR SARAH is
also a bit biased since it's written by Sarah's dad and brother
with contributions from many friends and colleagues--these are the
people who know her--and love her--best.
Combining the appeal of Sarah Palin's bestselling book, "Going
Rogue, " with the flavor of the hugely successful TV show "Sarah
Palin's Alaska," here are intimate stories from Sarah's life along
with a celebration of growing up in and sharing all that Alaska
means to Sarah and her family. Sarah's dad and brother share great
family stories of life in the last frontier--from hiking, camping,
fishing, hunting and gold-mining, to marathon running, teaching and
community service--first in small ways and then on a national
stage. Structured around themes of family, faith, independence,
resilience, character, risk-taking and adventure--here is a full
and loving portrait of where Sarah Palin came from and what made
her the person she is today.
From her humble beginnings to her time in the spotlight as the
first female Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin
has led an extraordinary life. "Going Rogue" recounts her political
experiences, her time as Mayor of Wasilla and as the first female
governor of Alaska, as well as her rapid rise on the national stage
during the 2008 campaign. Additionally, she shares insights into
the personal challenges she's faced including balancing her time as
a working mother, recognizing the war's impact with her son serving
combat in Iraq, having a child with a disability, and supporting
her teenage daughter through an unplanned pregnancy. Palin has
received much attention through the media, and now, her complete
story is available in paperback - a personal and political
chronicle of her life.
The third volume of Michael Palin's celebrated diaries. TRAVELLING
TO WORK is a roller-coaster ride driven by the Palin hallmarks of
curiosity and sense of adventure. Michael was not the BBC's first
choice for the travel series AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, but after
its success, the public naturally wanted more. Palin, however, had
other plans. There was his film AMERICAN FRIENDS, a role in Alan
Bleasdale's award-winning drama GBH, the staging of his West End
play THE WEEKEND, a first novel, HEMINGWAY'S CHAIR, and a lead role
in FIERCE CREATURES. He did find time for two more travel series,
POLE TO POLE in 1991 and FULL CIRCLE in 1996, and wrote two
bestselling books to accompany them. These ten years in different
directions offer riches on every page.
Michael Palin's bestselling diaries of the 1980s. After a live
performance at the Hollywood Bowl, The Pythons made their last
performance together in 1983 in the hugely successful MONTY
PYTHON'S MEANING OF LIFE. Writing and acting in films and
television then took over much of Michael's life, culminating in
the smash hit A FISH CALLED WANDA (for which he won a BAFTA for
Best Supporting Actor), and the first of his seven celebrated
television journeys for the BBC. He co-produced, wrote and played
the lead in THE MISSIONARY opposite Maggie Smith, who also appeared
with him in A PRIVATE FUNCTION, written by Alan Bennett. Such was
his fame in the US, he was enticed into once again hosting the
enormously popular show Saturday Night Live, in one edition of
which his mother makes a highly successful surprise guest
appearance. He filmed several journeys for television and became
chairman of the pressure group, Transport 2000. His family remains
a constant as his and Helen's children enter their teens.
_______________ THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: the remarkable true
story of the exploration ship featured in The Terror In the early
years of Queen Victoria's reign, HMS Erebus undertook two of the
most ambitious naval expeditions of all time. On the first, she
ventured further south than any human had ever been. On the second,
she vanished with her 129-strong crew in the wastes of the Canadian
Arctic, along with the HMS Terror. Her fate remained a mystery for
over 160 years. Then, in 2014, she was found. This is her story.

_______________ A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'Beyond terrific . .
. I didn't want it to end.' Bill Bryson 'Illuminated by flashes of
gentle wit . . . It's a fascinating story that [Palin] brings
full-bloodedly to life.' Guardian 'This is an incredible book . . .
The Erebus story is the Arctic epic we've all been waiting for.'
Nicholas Crane 'Thoroughly absorbs the reader. . . Carefully
researched and well-crafted, it brings the story of a ship vividly
to life.' Sunday Times 'A great story . . . Told in a very relaxed
and sometimes - as you might expect - very funny Palin style.'
David Baddiel, Daily Mail 'Magisterial . . . Brings energy, wit and
humanity to a story that has never ceased to tantalise people since
the 1840s.' The Times
