"Python Never Patronised Its Audience"
On October 5, 1969, Monty Python's Flying Circus debuted.
"Marking the 40th anniversary of Python’s television debut on October 5, 1969, Almost the Truth features interviews with all the surviving members of the group — Cleese, Palin, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Eric Idle — plus archive clips of Graham Chapman, who died of cancer in 1989. And they all delight in ribbing their erstwhile colleagues.
While Idle describes Jones as “the energy, the bowels of Python”, Cleese disinters a rivalry from all those years ago by insisting: “Terry Jones is Welsh, and what Terry has never been able to accept is that the Welsh, a subject people, were put on earth to carry out menial tasks for the English. I think that’s why we had a few arguments.”
