Description

If you haven't yet memorized any of Monty Python's scripts, here's your chance. It's difficult to read this book without breaking into a broken English accent -- or at least without laughing aloud. Alarm luckless pedestrians as you gesticulate wildly with an halibut, learn how to determine whether a parrot is really dead or not...  "Nudge, nudge. Snap snap. Grin, grin, wink, wink, say no more".

"All the Words" Volumes 1 and 2 together include forty-five classic episodes of the most entertaining writing to have gone into television anywhere. The minister of silly walks, the dead parrot, banter in a cheese shop - here is every silly, satirical skit, every snide insult, every saucy aside.

This volume (1) presents the complete scripts of the 1st 2 seasons of the Monty Python television series, first shown on BBC televison from 1969. Vol 1 starts with the Mozart show and ending with "Long John Silver Impersonators Vs. Gynecologists. Among the classic comedy sketches: the Spanish Inquisition, the Ministry of Silly Walks, the lethal joke used against the Germans, semprini, the Lumberjack song, the Attila the Hun show, how to defend yourself from fresh fruit, camel-spotting, Secret Service dentists, and the invasion of tennis-playing blamcmanges from the galaxy of Andromeda...

Author Biography:

MONTY PYTHON was a  surreal comedy troupe from Britain who created the show Monty Python's Flying Circus, which first aired on the BBC.  Broadcast between 1969 and 1974, Flying Circus was written, and performed by its members:  John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, and  Terry Jones.  The show was groundbreaking: a stream-of-consciousness approach to sketch comedy that pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable on broadcast television. The Pythons experimented with form and content, injecting satire and a unique blend of sardonic wit and unabashed silliness, that attracted a cult-like fan base in the process.  The comedy team would achieve worldwide fame in the wake of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and go on to produce several critically acclaimed films, albums, books, and live shows.
