Description

The behind-the-scenes story of the world's most famous alternative comedy group. Condensed from two volumes of Michael Palin's "Diaries," with a new prologue and epilogue by Palin, this is the as-it-happened story of how Monty Python's famous TV and stage shows, films, books, and albums were conceived, argued about, and brought to life.
