If you need a smile, turning the page on the new Monty Python's Flying Circus: Hidden Treasures will provide the goods.
The new release from the Carlton Books stable is the complete history of Monty Python, with bits in!
Never before has the story of the Pythons been so brilliantly told, in words, and rare, unseen photographs and fascinating examples of removable and on-the-page facsimile memorabilia.
And therein lies the success - for even the most avid and knowledgeable of fans will find something new to revel in.
Adrian Besley is the man you have to thank. He was a BBC copywriter turned writer for children television, where his credits included Wombles and Upstairs Downstairs Bears.
He was a python fan growing up, and researching and putting this book together was a dream realised.
From the Dead Parrot sketch to the Lumberjack Song and the Argument Clinic, the Monty men delivered famous skits and one-liners with ease.
Their irreverent humour is the yardstick by which others are judged, and this book delves into the official Monty Python archives for the first time, telling their story with pics, props and memorabilia - from hand-scribbled scripts to never-before-published cue sheets.
It's a truly tidy book, and entirely free from filler...although we can't promise that it'll be a spam free affair!
