Monty Python as Paper People

Unless you've been in a coma since November, you'll no doubt now be aware that Monty Python are re-forming on stage for ten last shows. Monty Python Live promises to be a mix of their greatest hits and a couple of new sketches.

If you couldn't afford the tickets or live too far from the capital to attend, fear not, as we have a solution for how you can still see the sketch team in person. Sally Grosart has made these 'Wee Paper People' Pythons. Print the templates out, assemble, and then stage a Python show in your own home...

Image shows from L to R: Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese

This is what the templates for the mini paper John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin look like...
