"Brilliant and torturous at the same time. Brilliant because it is Monty Python. Torturous because I was crazy to see these sketches performed, but couldn't at the time. But oh, the jocularity! oh, the ribaldry! oh, the Python and his flying circus! " — Karen (4 out of 5 stars)
"Brilliant and torturous at the same time. Brilliant because it is Monty Python. Torturous because I was crazy to see these sketches performed, but couldn't at the time. But oh, the jocularity! oh, the ribaldry! oh, the Python and his flying circus! "
" This is really a vote for Monty Python. I own this book, and dip into it from time to time to recall bits of dialogue, but it's not something you read cover to cover. "
" This is the best comedy ever! "
" This would be definitely the book I d pick if I were asked to travel to a desert island! "
" Great book for Monthy Python's Flying Circus. Those sketches look better performed than on the paper. "
" Volume one of all the Python TV scripts. A must for rabid Python fans like myself. "
" I love this. Love the shows. Love reading and torturing my friends with the memorized lines of ALL the shows. Sorry buddies. "
" Ah, Python. You either get it or you don't. "
" Some of the best words and phrases ever uttered in history will not be found in this book. "
" Page for page, the two books which produce the most laughter from my vocal cords in the English language. Regardless of whether you've watched the TV shows from which they have been drawn. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, read on! "
