Happy 40th Birthday, Monty Python's Flying Circus!

This groundbreaking, silly, television series, broadcast by the BBC from 1969 to 1974, was conceived, written and performed by the late Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.

The above video is my favorite sketch. Click here for more info on Monty Python. Here are the CBC's 10 favorite Python moments.
