Monty Python's Flying Circus

Silly question: Do almost all Brits love them ? I do love them.

1. You bet your silly walk.

It's a Monty Python sketch.

[Cirque du So-What]

2. I knew a brit who didn't appreciate the Python

but he was a stuck-up sticky beet.

5. Did he compete...

in the Upper Class Twit of the Year games?

3. Not a Brit, here, but

I hope so! One of the best British exports to the US, ever.

In fact, you've just inspired me to put on whatever DVD I can scare up first.

4. Plus, The Goons, who were Monty Python's inspiration.

The Goon Show. Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Harry Seacomb were the original loony British comedy troup.



One of their best, Lurgi Strikes Britain: complete with Ray Ellington quartet, Max Geldray and his harmonica, the BBC grams department and the amazing Sellers, Milligan, and Seacomb.

6. So cool. My favorite show growing up.

I listened to every episode as a kid. Brilliant show, brilliant guys.
Thanks for the link.

7. I'd say that this show had at least as strong a claim to be Monty's Father ....
