Monty Python’s Flying Circus – Volume 1

The complete scripts from the four Monty Python series, first shown on BBC Television between 1969 and 1974, have been collected in two companion volumes, the first twenty-three episodes in volume one and the second twenty-two in volume two. Transmission details are given in the appendix on p.320.

Characters names – often not spoken – are given as in the original camera scripts, with the name of the actual performer added on their first appearance (usually on their first line of dialogue). Sam parts taken by walk-ons have not always been identified.

A deliberate decision was made not to include most of the cartoon animations and in most cases the presence of the cartoon has been simply noted, with occasional reference to the subject matter. The photographs have been taken from Videotapes of the series.
