  Overview | 
 
Monty's Python's chief weapon is surprise.  And silliness.  Their two weapons are surprise and silliness.  And men in drag.  Their three weapons are surprise, silliness and men in drag.  And bizarre animation.  Their FOUR chief weapons... Oh, bloody hell. 
 
As young men, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin showed tremendous promise as gifted comic artists.  Then they created Monty Python's Flying Circus - very possibly the most tragic waste of Oxbridge education ever broadcast.  If your television ever produces the sight or sound of rich drama or accomplished acting, there is most assuredly something drastically wrong with your set. 
 
But it is clear: no programme in the history of television has brought such enlightenment to the common man.  Monty Python's Flying Circus provides a veritable university education in cultural literacy - tailored, of course, to suit those not quite done with evolution.   
 
The world will never forget Monthy Python's Flying Circus.  But perhaps, someday, we'll forgive.
