Binding : DVDEAN : 5035822531918Label : Sony Pictures Home EntertainmentManufacturer : Sony Pictures Home EntertainmentPublisher : Sony Pictures Home EntertainmentRelease date : 2007-05-21Title : Monty Python's Flying Circus - The Complete Third Series [DVD] [1972]Actor : ArrayAudience rating : Suitable for 12 years and overFormat : ArrayLanguages : ArrayNumber of items : 2Region code : 2Running time : 181Studio : Sony Pictures Home Entertainment The humour has not stood the test of time, not as good as I remember it when first shown on TV, (I am 67 years of age). Enjoyed the street scenes with all the sixties and seventies traffic best!
SERIES 3 is when the 'MONTY' phenomenon stopped being a cult, and was embraced by schoolkids and students alike [the studio- audience laughter finally becomes obvious by this point; lacking in SERIES ONE, at least.]----though derided by many 'adults' of the early 70s.

br /----IDLE'S opener 'multiple-murderer court scene' is an unforgettable macabre classic, and there is much brilliant use of isolated film inserts ['LEMON CURRY', anyone?] to enhance the overall surrealism throughout....
br /
br /---some nasty ['SAM PECKINPAH'S 'SALAD DAYS' spurts bad taste deliberately] and sexist ['DIRTY VICAR' sketch, relishly depicted by JONES] items are interspersed, to no great harm overall, ---and the icing on the cake is provided by no less than TERRY GILLIAM, who furnishes many sustained, decent-length animations: 'SUPER CHARWOMAN' , for me his finest piece of this series.

br /SERIES 3 is my own personal favourite amongst the PYTHON TV canon; outstanding in 1972-73, and a timeless artefact of superior BRITISH comedy from those far-off times.

Monty Python with they're flying circus. Remember that as a kid?
br /It's a love them or loathe them thing.
br /If you are looking to re-kindle your younger days, look no further.
br /Monty Python, are still there on DVD!
