PuressenceUK Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Anyone else watch this? Best thing I've seen on TV in ages. Hilarious from start to finish. The bloke playing Michael Palin and John Cleese were especially good. If you didn't see it I-Player is a must.
Plain Talker Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I have it recorded, I can't wait to see it!
1960boy Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I wonder how accurate that was...pertaining to the Python personalities.
quisquose Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 It was weird. In fact it even outweirded Python. Not to everybody's taste I would guess, and more bad language in a TV programme than I've ever heard. In fact it probably went out to offend in a manner that Life Of Brian never did. I absolutely loved it. My wife hated it (but she giggled at the closing scene with Stephen Fry as god).
alchresearch Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Absolutely outstanding. It was like Monty Python: The Next Generation. They'd got the surreal wackiness down to a T (I loved the captions) and the casting was incredible. Could most of them (apart from Terry Jones) have looked any more like the original pythons - particularly Cleese and Palin? They'd got the looks, voice and mannerisms. I didn't really care for Palin's fantasy scenes though, it detracted from the story a bit. I enjoyed the bits where they referred to the future, but the biggest laugh out loud moment for me was just before the end credits where they stated what Palin was doing now.
JenC Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 It was brilliant. Bizarre, surreal and very funny - I loved it. Alchresearch, I thought the references to the future were a really good touch too and Terry Jones being Michael's wife was great. I loved the whole thing and the fantastic Mark Heap was a nice surprise. I'd thoroughly recommend watching this if you're a Python fan.
Funky_Gibbon Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I wonder how accurate that was...pertaining to the Python personalities. They were playing caricatures of them, therefore Cleese was Basil Fawlty, Palin was 'The Nicest Man On Earth' etc.
Plain Talker Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Sat and chortled my way through Life Of Brian this evening. Hilarious!
Highnote Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Could not agree more Plain Talker, Blasphemous ? Never!!!
