Although comedy has vastly changed over the years, the most high-profile names in light entertainment remain fondly remembered. There's Morecambe and Wise. Ken Dodd. The Two Ronnies. And there's the Monty Python team.
From the late 1960s into the mid-1980s, the Monty Python team provided a surreal blend of comedy which ranged from clever jokes to ridiculous visuals. Based around the TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus, it also extended to a number of movies, most famously Monty Python's Life Of Brian (a hilarious spoof of Jesus' life story, in a film which I will review in the near future) and Monty Python and The Holy Grail. There were also a number of very famous sketches and scenes which are synonymous with a form of comedy that would later become known as being "Pythonesque".
