Synopsis
This is the story of six men who, in the space of forty-five half-hour television shows, transmitted from the late 60s till the early 70s; four full length feature films; a bunch of albums; the odd single; and some pretty impressive books, transformed everything we know about comedy today. They were translated into German twice, banned on the big screen ("Life of Brian"), and played sold out shows at The Hollywood Bowl - yeah, just like The Beatles! The impact that the members of Monty Python have had around the world is incredible. Now, Python associate Alan Parker has compiled the definitive guide to all Python CDs and DVDs.

And Now For Something Completely Dreadful, 30 Nov 2007

By	ColonelVolestrangler "Muriel" (Deceased) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to read on the bus one night and discovered all sorts of "facts" that I never knew about Python, after years of reading countless reference books on the team; like the "fact" that Ian MacNaughton co-directed "The Meaning Of Life". Apparently. Even though he didn't. And it was MacNaughton that accompanied Terry Jones to pick up the Jury Prize at Cannes and not john Goldstone.
As a book that describes itself as being about the CDs and DVDs, I had assumed there'd be articles about the recording of albums, the sketches created specifically for audio, the extras on the DVDs and such like. Instead, it appeared to be a bunch of sloppily written synopses of the films by someone who might have watched them once a few years back given the number of inaccuracies, some screen grabs, screeds of info lifted from Wikipedia (plus several pages of legalese on how it was perfectly acceptable to use this material), interview quotes lifted from other people's books (even the quote from Eric Idle on the back cover is lifted from the back cover of someone else's book, David Morgan's far superior "Monty Python Speaks"). There are filler pages with the covers of the computer games (nothing about the contents or the making of the games, an area I'd love to know more about, like how much writing input did the Pythons have?), and a chapter that mentions the then forthcoming re-releases of the albums and hours of outtakes and previously unheard sketches without bothering to give any details on any of these until-now-missing Python moments, which wasn't remotely frustrating or anything!
The last ten minutes of that twenty minute bus journey were spent looking out of the window, which was far more entertaining and informative than this book.
