Description: Brand New and Sealed. Blu ray's presume Mint. Monty Python: Almost the Truth (Lawyers Cut) is a 2009 television documentary series in six parts that covers 40 years of the surreal comedy group Monty Python, from Flying Circus to present day projects such as the musical Spamalot. The series highlights their childhood, schooling and university life, and pre-Python work. The series featured new interviews with surviving members John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, alongside archive interview footage of Graham Chapman and interviews with several associates of the Pythons, including Carol Cleveland, Neil Innes and Chapman's partner David Sherlock, along with commentary from modern comedians. The documentary is composed of six parts. The first part focuses on the Pythons' lives before Flying Circus; the second part covers their coming together and starting Flying Circus; the third part is about the Python records, their personal lives, and the end of Flying Circus; the fourth part looks at their transition to film with And Now for Something Completely Different and Holy Grail, continuing in the fifth part with Life of Brian and the various controversies it caused; and the sixth and final part covers Live at the Hollywood Bowl, The Meaning of Life, Chapman's death, and the five surviving members going on their separate ways and doing other projects. The series features interviews with people who worked with Monty Python as well as comedians and performers who cite them as an influence, including:Eddie IzzardRussell BrandBruce DickinsonDan AykroydSanjeev BhaskarSteve CooganBill OddieTim Brooke-TaylorJulian DoyleCarol ClevelandJimmy FallonSeth GreenHugh M. HefnerNeil InnesSimon PeggNick MasonStephen MerchantTim RothPhill JupitusRonnie Corbett Each episode opens with a different re-recording of the theme song from Life of Brian, with new lyrics referring to "Python" rather than "Brian". The first five episodes feature original vocalist Sonia Jones who, after becoming increasingly fed up with each subsequent performance, is replaced and on the sixth and final episode by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. All the episodes have slightly different opening credit sequences, and they bear rather Pythonesque titles:The Not-so-interesting BeginningsThe Much Funnier Second Episode – Parrot Sketch – Flying Circus IncludedAnd Now, the Sordid Personal BitsThe Ultimate Holy Grail EpisodeLust for GloryFinally!
