Title: MONTY PYTHON are making a comeback
Post by: Krusher on July 21, 2005, 11:18:04 AM: This should be fun.

A new six-part series will use new material and some best-loved old clips.

John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones will film the new clips at various locations including Teddington Lock in London and the Hollywood Bowl in California.

The five surviving Pythons will write and present one special episode each and team up to write a sixth super-episode in honour of the late Graham Chapman.

A spokesman for the US TV network PBS said: "They have all chosen their favourite bits from old Python films and the television series and linked them together in their own crazy way."

Monty Python’s Personal Best will be screened in the US next year.

At the moment there are no plans to show the series in the UK.

Yes - it was widely believed at the time that he'd died of AIDS, but this theory was dismissed as rumour. No-one would have been surprised though, as he was known to "bat for the other side".

I'm surprised that all British comedians don't; seems like just about all British comedy involves guys in drag. :)

You know, I always thought there was something suspiciously fruity about Cuban baseballers...

No it isn't! The first room was the room for having being hit on the head lessons, in which the students had to perfect the art of exclaiming "waaaah"! When you finally get to the argument room, ask if this is the right room for an argument. The gentleman should respond "I've told you once"...
