Description: A comprehensive study examining the history, content, and context of the legendary comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Review Quotes:
And now for something completely different: a highly readable, thoroughly researched, critically sophisticated look at one of television's most influential comic troupes. Landy situates their innovative sketches in historical and theoretical contexts [while] at the same time bringing a smile to one's face in fond remembrance of the Pythons' inspired comic madness. The book is a must read for those interested in comic theory, British culture, and television studies."
