I love Monty Python, me.
I was first introduced to their inane brilliance as a child by my father who would play Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album in the car. Mum was not a fan, so this was probably the only place he could indulge in this pleasure (when she was not in the car, of course).
I like their movies but I really like their television series which ran from 1969 to 1974.

Great Space Commander - you can now be my friend! Copyboy - you're out of the loop. ;)
ReplyDeleteConfused Monty Python with Dr Who, Ally??? That IS weird.
