Monty Python's Flying Circus
The BBC aired Monty Python's Flying Circus from 1969 until 1974. Surrealism, risqué or innuendo-laden humor, sight gags, and observational skits without punchlines characterized the programs. Terry Gilliam's cartoons were often mixed with live action. The first episode was recorded on 7 September and shown on 5 October 1969 on BBC One. The show targets British life, especially professionals, and is sometimes political. Monty Python members were smart. Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Graham Chapman attended Oxford; Terry Gilliam attended Occidental College. Their comedy typically references philosophers and writers. The programme followed Spike Milligan's Q5 style rather than the standard sketch show format. The team wanted its humour to be unclassifiable, and they succeeded so well that the adjective "Pythonesque" was created to describe it and comparable work.
