Monty Python's Flying Circus


Monty Python’s Flying Circus (also known as Flying Circus, MPFC or, during the final series, just Monty Python) was a highly popular, surreal BBC sketch comedy show from the Monty Python comedy team, and the group’s initial claim to fame. The show was noted for its impossible or highly improbable events, risqué or innuendo-laden humour, sight gags, and sketches without punchlines. It also featured the animations of Terry Gilliam which were often sequenced or merged with live action.
