The stars of Monty Python will perform live on stage together next year for the first time since performing at the Hollywood Bowl on 15 September 1980.
Spamalot is a thoroughly endearing production, one with something to offer both those familiar with the source material, and newcomers to the Python universe.
A new production of Monty Python’s Spamalot this summer will feature 1980s Doctor Who companion Bonnie Langford in the role of Lady of The Lake.
The real draw of this deliberately silly – and occasionally, surprisingly moving little programme – is to see a ‘new’ version of the Python boys do their stuff.
While Fawlty Towers will always be the best known post-Python programme, the most fondly-remembered by fans is probably Michael Palin and Terry Jones’ Ripping Yarns.
Sky Atlantic have announced today that a second series of cult comedy This Is Jinsy will air on the channel in 2013.
Sky Atlantic’s surreal new comedy This is Jinsy arrives on our screens tonight, so it’s a perfect time to look at some of the greatest weird and witty shows that have come before it.
Described as “pretty bonkers”, “shocking” and “super original” by Sky’s Head of Comedy Lucy Lumsden, new comedy This Is Jinsy premiered at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival 2011 over the weekend.
The premise of The Strange World Of Gurney Slade sounds like a 1960’s TV precursor to The Truman Show: a sitcom actor walks off the set in the middle of a live episode only to find that the ‘real world’ is in fact a sitcom.
Described by The Daily Mail as “a mixture of Walter Mitty, the Goons and Alice in Wonderland“, surreal 1960s comedy series The Strange World of Gurney Slade arrives on DVD next week.
