Holy Flying Circus
In 1979, Monty Python's film Life Of Brian caused outrage around the world.
Nuns with banners picketed cinemas, councils banned the film without even seeing it and the religious group Festival of Light organised a concerted campaign against the film trying to get it banned.
Against this backdrop Michael Palin and John Cleese found themselves facing prominent society figures Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark in a television debate in front of a live studio audience to defend their film against charges of blasphemy. But who won?
Special features in this DVD release of the highly praised comedy-drama loosely based on the scandal, include deleted scenes.
