Featuring exclusive interviews with John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam, the Pythons reflect on the concept and making of the film and discuss the obstacles overcame. Given the uproar it created over 25 years ago, the programme also asks whether the film could have been made in today's political climate) ------ What the Pythons did next; produced & directed by John Riley (Documents the hugely successful solo careers of the Monty Python team following the disbanding of the Flying Circus, from John Cleese's Fawlty Towers to Eric Idle's The Rutles.
