Monty Python - And Now For Something Rather Similar - 2014
The remaining Monty Python members did these interviews for the BBC in promotion of their live show ONE DOWN - FIVE TO GO. The show was a success. These interviews might be the last time we hear from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Link in comments.
As a Pythonian of long standing, and long in the tooth, I applaud your providing this length.
It's pretty cool, and sad any time you think of any more of these guys joining the choir invisible, since I started watching MP on our local PBS station two years after the series had begun in Britain. Thanks for posting.
My first exposure to the Flying Circus was a two hour marathon that was played on Guam's one and only TV station when I was stranded there in 1976. I could not make head nor tails of it - first time through it was equal parts riveting and bizarre, a total cognitive dissonance experience.
Then they played it again about a week later. Evidently the first time around it permanently damaged my brain, because the 2nd time through it was hilarious from end to end, and remains so today.

You are very welcome, Don.

I'm afraid the video link above burned down, fell over, and sank into the swamp. But this one stayed up!
