Further details
Monty Python clips are interspersed with new material as the latest episode in this entertaining series presents a colourful collage of Terry Gilliam's weirdly wonderful animations.
Gilliam moved to England in 1967 and soon landed a job creating animated segments for the children's TV series Do Not Adjust Your Set. Two years later, he joined Monty Python's Flying Circus, where he was given full creative licence to develop animated shorts.
In this illuminating look at his work, we discover how Gilliam made his inimitable mark on the legendary Python troupe.
