Monty Python's best-selling album is re-tooled for its 25th anniversary, featuring songs and ditties drawn from across their illustrious recording, TV and film career (1969 - 1983).

The new versions include brand new tracks specially recorded by Eric Idle, long-forgotten gems from the Python archives, remixed Terry Gilliam cover artwork and a 32-page booklet with notes by Robert Ross from new interviews with the Pythons.

Carlton Books presents Monty Python's Flying Circus: Hidden Treasures, the complete history of Monty Python, with bits in.

Never before has the story of the Pythons been so brilliantly told, in words, rare and unseen photographs and hundreds of examples of removable and on-the-page facsimile memorabilia. The book recounts the story of all six members, from early days in the Cambridge Footlights, and farther afield, through early appearances on the BBC, global stardom, movie making, fights, reunions and death, to the final curtain drop in London's O2 Arena in July 2014.

The "bits" are removable facsimiles of priceless artefacts from the official Python archives and the private collections of all members, and include hand-annotated scripts, previously unseen stills, film posters, programmes from classic shows, original items of animation artwork and more.

Monty Python's Flying Circus: Hidden Treasures takes you closer to the comic creative powerhouse than ever before.

The complete oral history of Monty Python - one of comedy's most legendary and influential troupes - publishing to coincide with the 50th anniversary of their BBC debut, with a foreword by John Oliver from hit US satire Last Week Tonight.

"Gilliam is one of the most manipulative bastards in that group of manipulative bastards. Michael is a selfish bastard, Cleese a control freak, Jonesy is shagged out and now forgets everything, and Graham as you know is still dead. I am the only real nice one!" - Eric Idle

With their dead parrots, holy grails and Spam, Monty Python revolutionised comedy for the rest of the world. They paved the way for everything from Saturday Night Live to The Young Ones to The Simpsons. Its founding members, including the supremely talented writers/performers John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, ushered in a new brand of surrealist comedy: a stream-of-consciousness sketch show that pushed the boundaries of format, style and content. Its legacy is not only important; it's monumental.

In Monty Python Speaks!, David Morgan has extensively interviewed the entire world of Python - from producers and collaborators like Douglas Adams, to the founding members themselves - to create the ultimate record of Britain's most revolutionary and successful comedy act. Packed with rare and never-before-seen photographs, and told with all the group's customary wit and irreverence (and spam), this is the inside story of a comedy phenomenon.

Years in the making, Network presents the entire original television series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, fully rejuvenated for the first time.

Sketches, some edited for timing, taste and copyright reasons, have been carefully restored to their intended length and 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 fan.

7 discs feature all 45 episodes presented series-by-series, for the first time totally uncut and beautifully restored from original film and videotape elements.

The restoration
After nearly a decade of research and planning, this is a ground up restoration by Network's award-winning in-house team working from the best available materials - from first generation 2-inch videotape masters to surviving negative and print film material, scanned in 2K. The wildly varying picture sources have been graded scene-by-scene and intensively cleaned up.

State of the art upscaling of standard definition videotape has been deployed with careful use of noise reduction for both video and film grain, resulting in a vastly improved viewing experience all round on Blu-ray high definition format, far exceeding anything previously available.

First released: Monday 4th November 2019
