Description
The Complete Guide to Monty Python delves into the lesser-known corners of this iconic comedy troupe. Beyond the well-remembered sketches and films, this book shines a light on often-hilarious but occasionally misfiring curiosities from the Pythons' record albums, TV episodes, and spin-off books. From the 'Fresh Fruit Self Defence' sketch to the 'Fish-Slapping Dance', this guide explores the full range of Monty Python's creative output. It also examines the tensions between its stars, the atmosphere when the crew reunited for films after their TV show days, and how these elements contributed to the Pythons' enduring legacy. With a wealth of information on all aspects of Monty Python's work, this book is an ideal choice for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this beloved comedy troupe.
