The show often targeted the idiosyncrasies of British life (especially professionals) and was at times politically charged. The first episode was recorded on 7 September 1969, and broadcast on 5 October of the same year on BBC One, with a total of 45 episodes airing over four seasons. It also featured the animations of Terry Gilliam which were often sequenced or merged with live action. The show was noted for its surreal plots, risqué or innuendo-laden humour, sight gags, and sketches without punchlines. Monty Python’s Flying Circus (also known as Flying Circus or, during the final series, just Monty Python) is a BBC sketch comedy programme from the Monty Python comedy team, and the group’s initial claim to fame.
