Monty Python's Flying Circus (disambiguation)
Monty Python's Flying Circus is a British comedy sketch television series originally broadcast by the BBC between 1969 and 1974.
Ian MacNaughton
Between 1969 and 1974 MacNaughton would produce and direct all but four of the 45 episodes of "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Having accepted the job of director and producer, MacNaughton announced to the Pythons' dismay that he had to take a holiday and would be unavailable for the first four shows, which were consequently directed by John Howard Davies. Initially, there was some friction between MacNaughton and the Pythons because of their close involvement with the way the show was directed, but by the end of the first series he had become one of the team and his contribution was significant. In 1970 the team filmed the second series of "Monty Python's Flying Circus."
