Monty Python's Flying Circus's influence on television and comedy is towering—it can be compared to the Beatles' influence on music. It is one of the most popular, enduring, oft-quoted, and inspiring shows of all time.

Now the complete scripts for every one of the 45 episodes of the ground-breaking show—every silly Setup, clever conceit, snide insult, saucy aside from these classic sketches—is included in Monty Python's Flying Circus: Complete and Annotated... All the Bits. This massive book also includes more than 2,000 color photographs and illustrations, all the stage directions, and over 1,000 insightful and informative annotations.

Includes "The Dead Parrot", "The Ministry of Silly Walks", "The Spanish Inquisition", "The Lumberjack Songs", "The Funniest Joke in the World", "The Argument Clinic","Spam", "The Cheese Shop",  "The Fish-Slapping Dance", "Nudge, Nudge," "Upper Class Twit of the Year",  and hundreds more. The extensive annotations cover the plethora of cultural, historical, and topical references touched upon in each sketch. Sidebars and commentary throughout include profiles of the principles—Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin—and insider stories from on and off the set including arguments and accidents; set design and shooting locations; goofs and gaffes; and much more. Also here are hundreds of photo stills from the show and Terry Gilliam's iconic artwork.

It's all here...all the bits. Monty Python's Flying Circus: Complete and Annotated is everything the most obsessive Python fan could ever want.
