The new movie then:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/jan/27/monty-python-film-reunion-absolutely-anything
Terry Gilliam cast doubt on whether a reunion would ever be successfully achieved. "We all have our own careers now … the BBC put us on 10 years ago, and it was an hour of mediocrity … the work wasn't what it should be."
He means that Monty Python Night thing hosted by Eddie Izzard, I presume. He's right, the new sketches in that were pretty mediocre.

watching series four atm, move towards making each installment a more complete episode with a theme or two running through it works very well i think

mm, where do you stand on 'The Cycling Tour' from Series 3? it's years since i saw it but i thought it worked pretty great; one long 30 minute sketch as it were. i think they put it into the 'failed experiment' box, or some of them did anyway as they never did that again.

i think that was the first departure in that direction, yeah (tho 'ethel the frog' with spiny norman and the krays substitutes was probably close to it too). i didn't like that one iirc but i could revisit.
i think it maybe turned out a lot like one of palin's whatchoocallem tales?

Palin & Jones wrote Cycling Tour, also wrote Ripping Yarns

Cycling Tour is one of my favorite episodes.
