5.0 out of 5 stars (Nearly) Everything In One Box 6 Sep 2009
Format:DVD
What do you get in this deceptively small box? Virtually the complete works of the Monty Python team on TV and in the cinema, that's what. All four series of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' - 45 episodes in total - plus feature film spin-off 'And Now For Something Completely Different'. On top of that, you get Special Edition releases of the feature films 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' and 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life', plus the live show 'Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl'. As such, this set represents fantastic value for money. The television series discs are pretty much bare-bones aside from the episodes, but the Special Editions of the films are loaded with extras, including archive footage, commentaries, and even new sketches from the team, specially filmed for the DVDs.

Serious, hardcore collectors will probably be able to note the omissions from this set - two episodes of the Pythons' German television series 'Monty Python's Fliegende Zirkus' (though I've no idea what the rights situation is with those at present), the 'Live At Aspen' reunion programme and sketches recorded for BBC TV's 'Monty Python Night' in 1999. But these are fairly niche items primarily of interest to die-hard fans, and die-hard fans will no doubt either have acquired them already, and will know how to do so. What this set boils down to is 15 discs of comedy greatness, and a fantastic (and space-saving!) way of collecting all the UK R2 'Monty Python' DVDs in one go for a very reasonable price. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't like the packing 5 April 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The merits or otherwise of the Monty Python oeurve will, no doubt, be argued about for many years to come. Personally, I'm a huge fan and am glad that [almost] everything is gathered in this set.

However, whoever designed the packaging deserves to come to a sticky end in a Terry Gilliam animation or have the sixteen ton weight dropped on him. The outside box is not prepossessing, amusing or informative. Inside this are three self-contained disc holders which could hardly have been designed in a worse way. The films and the tv shows are mixed up and a magnifying glass is required to read the information on the discs, which is minimal. Discs overlap one another and it is very difficult to get them out without damaging the contents. It is also difficult to replace them. The three 'volumes' are identical in design so that they give no clue as to individual contents. There is no booklet and nothing at all in the way of an episode guide for the tv shows.

I have given four stars because the material is, in my opinion, top comedy but I have to remove one for the pathetic presentation of this great material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of great stuff! 24 Feb 2010
Format:DVD
For fans of Python wanting to get their material on DVD, this is the place to start - and end!
Many hours of great viewing here and the DVD's of Holy Grail, Brian and Meaning of Life are the special editions which mean you get plenty of great extras.
Particularly good is the documentary on the making of 'Life of Brian'.

Everything you could possibly want, Python wise, is here.

Superb!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection
Really almost everything! I just felt the lack of portuguese subtitles in some DVDs and the others with lots of regionalism.
Besides that, it's a great deal.
