Sinossi
Nel 1969, sei gentiluomini inglesi (in realtà c'erano due infiltrati, un gallese e un americano), unirono le forze per creare un programma televisivo su un agente teatrale senza scrupoli, inaffidabile e decisamente viscido: Monty Python. In cinque anni di programmazione, Monty Python's Flying Circus rivoluzionò la comicità televisiva e lanciò i suoi protagonisti nell'Olimpo dello star system mondiale. Al piccolo schermo seguirono alcuni tra i film píù divertenti di sempre - Monty Python e il Sacro Graal e Brian di Nazareth, per citarne solo due - che ancora oggi conquistano anche il pubblico píù giovane con le loro trovate e la loro deliziosa e spiazzante ironia. Con le parole di John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Michael Palin e Terry Jones - e gli interventi dall'aldilà dell'indimenticato Graham Chapman - ripercorriamo tutte le fasi della carriera e della crescita umana dei numi tutelari del british humour. Le testimonianze dei Python sono state coraggiosamente raccolte da Bob McCabe, noto critico cinematografico, sceneggiatore e giornalista.

...and now for something completely different, let me introduce you the Pythons autobiography by... the Pythons themselves (applause). What you can find in this book is: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and yes, ladies and gentlemen, Graham Chapman live-dead from the a Leggi tutto
My parents are responsible for getting me hooked on Monty Python. I remember seeing the dead parrot sketch, the lumberjack song, the Spanish Inquisition, and so much more on PBS back in the day. But what hooked me forever was Monty Python and the Holy Grail . My parents had a copy of the movie on Bet Leggi tutto
Forget about the impact of The Pythons on British Culture and The World, what about the impact of The Pythons on My Sense of Humour ! I think it’s fair to say that I have a warped sense of humour, and for this I hold The Pythons to be fully responsible. I mean, one of them is from my home town of Shef Leggi tutto
Thank goodness this is almost all recordings of the actual cast members, or I wouldn’t have listened to it. As it is, and since I am a massive fan, I loved it. I just wish there had been more from Chapman, but as he is dead and has been for some time, this wasn’t particularly possible at this time. I Leggi tutto
Adore the pythons but unfortunately this audiobook was a companion to the huge book of their autobiography. So, I'll give the audiobook 4 stars for what it is and read the book in the near future.
2006: "Could I love Michael Palin more? No, no I could not. And don't even get me started on the whole getting paid to travel around the world thing and write books about it. Funny books. Between him and Bill Bryson, I -- Oh, but about the book? It's definitely worth reading if you're a fan, although Leggi tutto
Really, this book is great, but beware: it will change the way you see the Pythons. It did for me anyway. I built up this idea that they were all friends, making shows and movies because they spent all their time together, making each other laugh. I had no business doing that. No reason to believe i Leggi tutto
