Monty Python - History of the Joke

Слайд 3

Monty Python (sometimes known as The Pythons ) were a British surreal comedy group who created their sketch comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus, that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969. Forty-five episodes were made over four series. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and impact, spawning touring stage shows, films, numerous albums, several books, and a stage musical. The group's influence on comedy has been compared to The Beatles' influence on music.

Monty Python’s Flying Circus Flying Circus (1969-1974) Monty Python’s Flying Circus is a sketch comedy show which ran for four seasons from 1969-1974. The series premiered on October 5th, 1969 on BBC One, and the finale aired on December 5th, 1974. It was nominated for seven BAFTA Awards during its run, winning three. The show often targets the idiosyncrasies of British life, especially that of professionals, and is at times politically charged. The members of Monty Python were highly educated. Their comedy is often pointedly intellectual, with numerous erudite references to philosophers and literary figures. The series followed and elaborated upon the style used by Spike Milligan in his ground breaking series Q5, rather than the traditional sketch show format. The Pythons play the majority of the series characters themselves, including the majority of the female characters, but occasionally they cast an extra actor. Regular supporting cast members include Carol Cleveland (referred to by the team as the unofficial "Seventh Python"), Connie Booth (Cleese's first wife), series Producer Ian MacNaughton , Ian Davidson, Neil Innes (in the fourth series), and the Fred Tomlinson Singers (for musical numbers).
