Information about Monty Python

Monty Python is an English comedy troupe that rose to international fame in
the late 1960s and early 70s with its surreal and stream of consciousness
television series Monty Python's Flying Circus, which combined live action
sketches, stock footage, and original animation.

Members:

   * Graham Chapman (died in 1989 of cancer)
   * John Cleese
   * Terry Jones
   * Michael Palin
   * Eric Idle
   * Terry Gilliam

The entire group was British except for Gilliam, who was from the USA.

Flying Circus produced many memorable skits which have since been quoted,
parodied and referenced in many other forums. Some of the show's best-known
moments include the famous Dead Parrot sketch, the Lumberjack Song, The
Ministry of Silly Walks, Eric Idle's "Nudge Nudge" routine, and the
re-occuring Spanish Inquisition characters.

The group was also responsible for several full-length motion pictures.
These include:

   * And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)
   * Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
   * Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)
   * Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983)

Each member pursued other film and television projects, often working with
one another. Many of these were very successful, such as A Fish Called Wanda
(1988), starring Cleese and Palin.
