New Monty Python Mega-Documentary: And Now for Something Completely Entertaining

[Bianculli here: The hotel system crashed, so this blog's initial posting was incomplete until I returned to Philadelphia and a friendlier online access system. Here's the full deal, complete with photo, link, etc. Sorry.]

Beginning Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET, The Independent Film Channel presents a six-day, six-hour documentary series honoring the 40th anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus. You can expect new details, big laughs, fresh insights and, yes, you can even expect the Spanish Inquisition...

Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer's Cut) is presented in one-hour nightly installments beginning Sunday. It's a fitting, funny tribute to a groundbreaking comedy troupe, and it's a special you'll want to record as well as watch, to enjoy on repeated viewings.

You can read, and hear, my full Fresh Air with Terry Gross review of this new IFC documentary by clicking HERE. And plan ahead, because IFC is pairing these nightly hours with other treats from the Python vault: series, specials and movies. Enjoy it all. Forty years later, it remains mind-bendingly fresh, and odd, and funny.
