Having bought this as a part of the box set of Personal Best disks because I saw that it listed a particular sketch I wanted, I was very disappointed to find out that there are only small portions of many of the sketches.
For example, every disk in its intro, references the Argument Clinic sketch, BUT, the sketch is never shown! There are a few seconds of the lead in to the sketch but not the argument itself!

I like the idea of showcasing each members talents sepratley, and Palin has always been my favorite Python.

With all the Flying Circus episodes, albums, films, books ect. Why is it a must to realese another best of. As a huge pythoon fan, I don't really think there should be any. Nobody new should get this, and certainly not anyody who has been a fan for a long time. How bout instead of more best of compilations, maybe a realese of more solo stuff like Rutland Weekend Television, Bonzo music videos from DNAYS, At Last the 1948 show episodes, which there are more of than on the DVD's. There's also Out of the Trees, the unrealesed outtakes album, or maybe someone can find filmed but unused material from Flying Circus. But of course, when I went on amazon.com today, there's was The Monty POython Box Set. Don't get excited. It's Holy Grail, ANFSCD, and a Terry Gilliam movie Baron Machunakeiujb, whatever it's called.

Who cares and who the hell are buying these best of DVDs.
