The Monty Python members appear in their first movie, comprising re-enacted sketches from the first two series of the surreal comedy show. Highlights include the dead parrot sketch, the Lumberjack Song and the Upper-class Twit of the Year Race. Starring the usual team of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam, with regular female sidekick Carol Cleveland
Eric Idle once joked that the Monty Python team would only get back together if Graham Chapman came back from the dead. There's been no sign of a Lazarus-like resurrection from the pipe-smoking sixth member of the team, and yet back in November the comedy group announced a one-off show at London's O2. Demand was so high that more dates were quickly added yet Cleese and co have been at pains to point out that this is not only a reunion - it's also a farewell. The Pythons have decided this will be the last time they'll work together as a group. Alan Yentob catches up with each member to give them the Spanish Inquisition, talking about individual projects, including Terry Gilliam's move into opera, Terry Jones new movie starring Simon Pegg, and Michael Palin's third volume of diaries. He also has exclusive access to the rehearsals for the reunions, which kick off on Tuesday
