Monty Python's Flying Circus

Monty Python's Flying Circus was a British comic-satirical sketch program, which was broadcast by the BBC in the period 5 October 1969 - december 5, 1974.

The program was written and performed by a group of five British comedians and an American animator. The group is known as Monty Python, or the Pythons. In addition to the television program, the Group also made a number of LP records and some movies.

Monty Python's Flying Circus had working titles in 1969 as Gwen Dibley's Flying Circus and Owl-Stretching Time. In 1974, when John Cleese left the group, the name was changed to Monty Python.

They tried to throw overboard several rules, such as the removal of the punch line. The Pythons found that one often saw a beautiful sketch but that was sometimes forced to work to a punch line. Examples include:
 * Guest Star:
 * Connie Booth
 * Ian Davidson
 * Neil Innes
 * The Fred Tomlinson Singers
 * The "it 's"-man (Palin): a man with a battered costume and uncombed beard, which just before the beginning of the leader "it 's..." says. In the first season he does this often in some terrible or at least tiring situation.
 * An announcer (Cleese) in Tuxedo, on a weird location, which is in the second season the "it 's"-man to go with the text "And now for something completely different". In the third season, this was shortened to "And now..".
 * The Gumbies (all Pythons except Gilliam): a bunch of weird males with toothbrush snorretjes, shorts, suspenders, rubber boots (gumboots, hence the name) and tied handkerchiefs on the head. They are rather silly people that everything extremely slow screaming with much repetition.
 * A Knight who people in the first season with a rubber chicken beats (Gilliam)
 * A naked organist (the first two times Gilliam, then Jones) that between sketches by, or at the beginning of the broadcast a short plays.
 * Eric Praline (Cleese), a eccentric person with a long coat. His most famous is the Dead Parrotsketch, but his name comes only in the sketch Fish Licence.
 * Biggles (Chapman, and once Jones)
 * Luigi Vercotti (Palin), a mafia-related entrepreneur
 * The "Pepperpots": women from the working class, played by the Pythons themselves, with a high shrieking voice.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The various sketches were often linked together through the animations of Terry Gilliam. Another technique was to run the various sketches by each other. Common talks John Cleese, sitting behind a desk on an absurd location, the winged words: "And now for something completely different".
 * Halfway through a sketch says Cleese against Idle: "this is the silliest sketch where ever I was in it", in which Idle replied that his role as a waiter is also not really exciting. They decide to stop, and just steps from the set.
 * In another sketch says Chapman at a BBC-Officer (played by Cleese) that he doesn't know the punch line. Cleese reads the punch line for himself, laughs and says, "that's a very good punch line, well. Never mind. "
 * A comic weight of 16 tons falls on a player to end the sketch.
