An Autobiography: The Pythons

In 1969 , six Englishmen - well, one was Welsh and another was an interloping American...) came together to create a television programme about an unscrupulously, u trustworthy and frankly slimy theatrical agent called Monty Python. The resultant programme was said to be a Flying Circus...Here, for the first time, Monty himself tells the whole story of all that stuff, admittedly using the voices of several other people to do so. Consequently, he is very grateful to Messrs Chapman, Cleese, Idle, Gilliam, Jones and Palin. Monty Python's Flying Circus forever and a day changed the face of television comedy and now, 400 years later (well...thirty and a bit...) people are still talking about it...Here, in their own words, the men who made Monty Python tell their stories, from childhood lusts to their formative years to their break into television...the full block-busting story of Monty Python. Illustrated with colour abnd black and white photographs.
