Overview

In 1969, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin changed the face of comedy forever, with a program titled Monty Python's Flying Circus. Now, 45 years later, Python fans around Australia can catch the group's swan song in a special cinema broadcast.

Recorded at The O2 arena in London, the glowingly reviewed gala sees the five surviving Python members come together and re-enact many of their most beloved sketches, from the Dead Parrot routine to the Lumberjack Song. There's also a handful of new animated interludes from Gilliam, plus video footage of Chapman, who passed away in 1989. The group joked that the alternative title Two Down, Four to Go was considered in the event that another one of them died before the show.

Monty Python Live (Mostly) will screen in cinemas around the country. For more information, go here.
