These six discs contain the most famous and frequently quoted moments from the entire Flying Circus series, as selected and introduced by the very lunatics who made Monty Python the world's premier comedy troupe. And just to prove who benevolent they are, each Python has contributed NEW material to his disc. So it doesn't matter if you're a complete rooky or hold a Master's Degree in Monty, this collection has something for you. In fact, it's the perfect package for: THE NEWCOMER: Nothing beats a nice Spanish Inquisition to get you up to speed with your Python-passionate friends. THE MONTY-CURIOUS: Satisfy that inner craving for something completely different with a warm dollop of Whizzo Butter on Spam! THE FANATIC: A concentrated blast of buffoonery--and a reunion with your favorite characters--hand-picked by your idols themselves. THE PURCHASE-RESISTANT: Seen it, liked it, but never bought it?
