S00 E01 • Saturday, Oct 3, 2009 • Oct 3 • 1h

To commemorate the Ruby Jubilee of Monty Python, this film takes us on a journey telling the story of the Pythons from start to finish. Starting with the very humble beginnings of how the legendary British comedy troupe emerged, we learn how the cast met, their early influences and how they went on to create ground-breaking television, and their transition into movies that would change the face of comedy forever.

"A Party Political Broadcast on behalf of the Conservative and Unionist Party" was the pre-title sketch for Series 3 Episode 12 when BBC TV first broadcast the series in the UK in November 1973. When BBC TV repeated the episode in October 1974, the sketch was no longer there. Why was it dropped?
