Watch Monty Python's Flying Circus HD online free

From 1969 through 1974, the BBC transmitted Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British sketch comedy programme developed by the comic troupe Monty Python. The programs consisted of surrealism, risqué or innuendo-laced humor, sight gags, and observational skits with no punchlines. It also featured animations by Terry Gilliam, which were frequently sequenced or blended with live-action footage. The first episode was recorded on September 7 and shown on BBC One on October5,1969, with 45 episodes broadcasting over four series from 1969 to1974, plus two episodes for German television. The show frequently focuses on the peculiarities of British culture, particularly those of professionals, and is occasionally political. Monty Python's cast members held advanced degrees. Terry Jones and Michael Palin are alumni of Oxford University; Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Graham Chapman attended Cambridge University; and Terry Gilliam, who was born in the United States, graduated from Occidental College. Their comedy is frequently intellectually incisive, with numerous references to philosophers and writers. The programme adopted and expanded upon the style pioneered by Spike Milligan in his groundbreaking series Q5, rather than the standard sketch show format. The team aimed for their humor to defy categorization, and they were so successful that the phrase "Pythonesque" was coined to describe it and similar content in the future.
