Hello ex-BBC staffers, my name is James Gent and I am currently writing and researching a book on Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1974). This book is taking a close look at the TV series, series by series, episode by episode, covering all manner of production minutae, trivia, cultural references, and most pertinently to this forum, going into detail about how the show was actually put together.  I am trying to sample as many voices from the studio floor, as it were, to bring this side of the story to life and would love to hear from any members of this forum who worked on the show in any capacity, whether with the film crew, at TV Centre or in editing, visual effects or with Terry Gilliam.

Feel free to share any info or recollections here in this thread or message me with contact details.  i have already got in contact with production assistant Roger Last who is very keen to talk about his time working on the show for the first three seasons, and Barry Stevens (TVRI) who physically edited the very first episode with a razorblade.

Thank you for reading

James Gent

NOTE TO MODS: If this is in the wrong subforum, feel free to move

As have I.

The recent successful revival of MontyPython @ 02 employed the skills of original costume designer Hazel Pethig. Their Agent will put you in touch.
