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.
Terry Jones
After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in history, Jones and writing partner Michael Palin (whom he met at Oxford) wrote and performed for several high-profile British comedy programmes, including "Do Not Adjust Your Set" and "The Frost Report", before creating "Monty Python's Flying Circus" with Cambridge graduates Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Graham Chapman, and American animator/filmmaker Terry Gilliam. Jones was largely responsible for the programme's innovative, surreal structure, in which sketches flowed from one to the next without the use of punchlines. He made his directorial debut with the team's first film, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", which he co-directed with Gilliam, and also directed the subsequent Python films, "Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Life".
