- Summary
- COI synopsis: When Monty Python’s Flying Circus first hit our television screens people were amazed, shocked and bewildered, but they also laughed - at things they had never laughed at before. Now Monty Python is almost a cult which has spread far beyond the British Isles. With this comic team making their first real feature film on location it was too good an opportunity to miss, so Michele Brown risked going along to find out just what does make their humour so completely different.
