Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyers Cut)
New doc. I saw the poster for it in the movie theatre and it said 1 night only. At the end of the preview it says you can see it on DVD.
Just thought I'd throw this out.
Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyers Cut)
The Pythons are very good at producing new sets of reminiscences, interviews and making-of documentaries (and the occasional new sketch) every few years and putting them alongside old material on DVD. I'll be getting this new 3-disc thing.

That's good. I've got all the series but I will be out of the country when it is on, unless it gets repeated on BBC Four.
It's was on BBC2 last night and was a sucession of oft repeated anecdotes that everyone has heard before.

Yep. Pretty much.
Was still quite good though.
Flogging a dead parrot.
As everyone has said, nothing we haven't heard before.
I think I prefer the reunion show they did in Aspen in the 90s.

Watched it last night. It was decent enough. It was never likely that there would be many new stories after 40 years. Classic TV show though.
Watching the documentary now on BBC2.
Why do Cleese and Idle have those stupid transatlantic accents. I bet Cleese wishes he never went there now.
Well, Eric Idle has lived in LA for many, many years now. Can't say I notice it with Cleese particularly. He's got less of an accentuated upper middle-class accent than when he was younger, but I wouldn't say it's particularly transatlantic.
