Having set itself up as the best show on TV and with Robert Carlyle's star very much in the ascendant it was always obvious that we would be lucky to get more than three seasons out of this quirky production. This third and final season ramps up the brilliance factor even more and actually gives us two more episodes than the previous two seasons (8 spread over 2 discs); Carlyle plays decidedly

The sketch show par excellence, influential beyond imagining, the guys being the comedy equivalent of The Beatles. Written by the cast and full of surreal moments and non-sequitors Python hit the times exactly and many of the sketches (Dead Parrot, Nudge Nudge etc) have passed into folklore. A fantastically packaged boxset and much kudos to Sony for bringing us every episode from the series, the
