PYTHON'S FLYING......
Review date: 2008-06-28 Rating: 8 out of 10
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.
----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....
---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.
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. If it be series 1,2,3 or 4. How can they be better? Answer is harder to judge. They were well ahead of their time.I have watched them since a kid, that being 40 years ago! These are ( now happily on DVD ) a comfort zone of sheer joy to watch. Enough said, But how did they stop themselves from laughing!!!Or me, so for now, will keep watching. You Guy's should too!!
