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)

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!)

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?!

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.

Alright, yew've broken the mould. Wot happens then?
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

A great gift
I bought this item as a Christmas present for my father. He's always been quoting the more famous episodes so it's good to be able to see some other sketches. Plus it's very funny. Read more

So many of the Python sketches have gone down in history that it's surprising watching the whole 13-episode run of the first series just how much dead wood there is between great... Read more
