Life of Python by George Perry and the Pythons

Life of Python

Monty Python lives to ride again . . . don't believe any of those malicious rumours that they are washed up, pooped out - over.  Not true.  With their 30th anniversary looming, the great hugely influential comedy group is gearing up anew to surprise us yet again.

This tribute to the inspired collective genius of John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and the late Graham Chapman, is based on personal reminiscences and exclusive interviews with each of them.  It recounts, with many illustrations from the archives, their pre-Pythonic lives, their meeting, its impact and the aftermath.  They have come a long way over the years since then.  Today, Gwen Dibley would hardly know them.

George Perry, author, journalist, fellow Oxbridge graduate and expert in matters Pythonical, has revised and updated his biography of the phenomenal team whose four seasons of shows on BBC television, from 1969 to 1974, changed the face of British comedy - forever.

So, here it is: the definitive account of 30 years of Monty Python

The book is in very good condition and is a blooming good read.
