Hallo! Now For Something Completely Norwegian!
‘Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Gumbys.’
Hallo! To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Monty Python, Network Distributing is pleased to announce the release and pre-sale of… Monty Python’s Flying Circus Norwegian Blu-ray Edition.
Nobody expects…all 45 episodes restored and uncut! But Network have used their chief weapons of surprise, ruthless restoration efficiency and a fanatical devotion to Monty Python to bring you this exclusive Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Blu-ray box set of Monty Python’s Flying Circus available for the first time worldwide – including special and rare content!
In 1969, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin created Monty Python which unleashed their unbridled silliness on an unsuspecting world…and took it over! Now, years in the making, Network is proud to present the entire original television series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, fully rejuvenated for the first time. Sketches, some cut after initial broadcast, some excised completely, others edited to make more palatable have been carefully restored to their intended length. The majority of Terry Gilliam’s animations have been newly scanned in high-definition and restored to a specification way beyond their original format. Hitherto unseen outtakes, film inserts, and studio recordings have been retrieved, adding yet another dimension to this exclusive release. This is the ultimate television restoration and a must for every generation of Python fans.
Tim Beddows, MD of Network Distributing, is “thrilled that we’ve been given the opportunity to restore Monty Python’s Flying Circus. It’s long overdue and the results our award-winning team have yielded from the original materials are just staggering. One of the best restorations I’ve ever seen.”
In addition to the Network’s limited edition release, and subsequent individual series releases, further 50th anniversary happenings will include a season at the BFI Southbank with screenings of films and series from and influenced by the troupe, a takeover at the BBC, Michael Palin’s exec. produced programmes for BBC Radio 4, and a Guinness World Record attempt for the ‘Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Gumbys.’
