Monty Python's Flying Circus: 50 Years of Hidden Treasures by Adrian Besley

Monty Python's Flying Circus: 50 Years of Hidden Treasures by Adrian Besley

This book delves into the official archives and recounts the history of the men who changed the face of comedy. The story is told through photographs, text, props and memorabilia, including hand-scribbled scripts, never-before-published cue sheets, artwork, unused presentation material, and more, offering the reader a unique peek into the world of these comic geniuses. The "Dead Parrot" sketch. "The Lumberjack Song". "Argument Clinic". "Spam". Monty Python's Flying Circus was packed with famous skits and classic one-liners, many of which are still globally recognized, from the Hollywood Bowl to the University of Woolloomooloo. Their irreverent humour is the yardstick by which others are judged and the adjective "Pythonesque" has been part of the English language for years. And 50 years after first broadcast, Monty Python's Flying Circus is still attracting and amusing audiences around the world.

Adrian Besley is the author of the humourous titles The Dangerous Book for Idiots, Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Klinsmann? and Dr Fatkins Resolutionary Diet , along with Every Step Counts - a walking fitness guide, books on YouTube - and the best-selling Superstars of the World Cup 2006, and has penned episodes of The Wombles and Upstairs Downstairs Bears.
