5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon.de is the place to be 8 April 2007
By Grum
Format:DVD
Couldn't agree more with the other reviewers about obtaining the complete set from Amazon.de. £38, delivery within 5 days - why isn't this set available in the UK yet?

(The 5 stars relates to the box set)

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THE GERMAN BOX SET INSTEAD 17 May 2007
Format:DVD
I would like to add my comments to those below. The German 7-disc box set looks great, the picture and sound are fabulous (much better than I remember it when last broadcast) and it costs less than half the price of the UK editions (£37 against £75 - no contest). I wondered if subtitles might be a problem. They're not. There's a choice of many languages including English and English HOH, but you just select Subtitles Off and away you go. (In fact, I may watch them all over again WITH German subtitles just to see how bizarre that will be!)

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best, but incomplete..... 2 April 2007
Format:DVD
At last, Monty Python series one comes to DVD - you can't beat it....unless you go to amazon.de and buy the complete box set of series 1-4 (all 45 episodes) for 38 quid, including shipping. Why the big delay in the UK?!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic
Of course you have to like this sort of non-sense brit humour and have a good sense of what sarcasm is, otherwise you just won't get Monty Python.

In the late 60's, there was much evidence of a strong desire to drive a coach and horses through any kind of tradition, and Python was a key manifestation of that. Read more
