Lost classic gets rediscovered.
5 October 2023
Just watched the full 6 episodes of this, lost for 54yrs, classic "mockumentary" and can say...its brilliant. Written by Michael Palin and aaTerry Jones, it is full of historical skits and "interviews" with various british figures in history. The humour is very "python-esq" (think "holy grail" but in different decades of British history). Its believable to think think this helped laid the groundwork for the greatness to come ("Flying Circus" debuted later the same year in 1969) and Palin and Jones show their, cross-dressing/ absurdist chops here). A must for all python fans...this thoroughly made me smile from ear to ear.
