Watch Monty Python's Flying Circus Season 4 Episode 6: Party Political Broadcast HD for free on Banana HD

Monty Python's Flying Circus aired on the BBC from 1969 until 1974. The presentations had surrealism, risqué or innuendo-laden humor, sight gags, and observational sketches without punchlines. It featured animations by Terry Gilliam, often blended with live action. First episode taped 7 September, broadcast 5 October 1969 on BBC One. 45 episodes aired across four series from 1969 to1974, plus two for German TV. The show critiques British life, especially professionals, and is sometimes politically contentious. Monty Python was well-educated. Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Graham Chapman graduated from Oxford; Terry Gilliam from Occidental. Their comedy often references philosophers and literary figures. The programme followed Spike Milligan's Q5 style, not the standard sketch show format. The team wanted its humor to be unclassifiable, and they succeeded so well that the phrase "Pythonesque" was created to describe it and comparable stuff.
