PBS To Air Six New Monty Python Specials

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pining-for-the-fjords dept.

Freshly Exhumed wrote to mention a PBS release with good news for BritCom Fans. The Public Broadcasting Service is planning to air six new Monty Python specials. From the article: "Each of the exclusive-to-PBS six one-hour programs will focus on one member of the original Monty Python troupe - Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones - and showcase favorite clips from the group's television series and movies, mixed with new footage. The five living Pythons - Cleese, Idle, Gilliam, Palin and Jones - will each produce and write their own episode, with the five collaborating on a sixth special to honor deceased member Chapman."

    Oh yeah, I'm there. The marketing people have found yet another way to grab my money by repackaging the stuff I already have. Sort of. More or less. I'll still buy it. And now - for something completely different.

    'Python' was named after the Monty Python show because it's supposed to be fun. And it is fun... much fun indeed... practical and productive too... who would of thought one could have fun programming _and_ get stuff done too :)
