***ALMOST CERTAINLY NOMINATED FOR SOMETHING SOMEWHERE***

The complete scripts from the four Monty Python series, first shown on BBC television between 1969 and 1974, have been collected in two companion volumes.

Characters' names, often not spoken, are given as in the original scripts, along with the names of the actual performer added on their first appearance in each sketch.

This first volume contains twenty-three classic episodes, featuring some of the most entertaining writing to have gone into television anywhere. The minister of silly walks, the dead parrot, banter in a cheese shop - here is every silly, satirical skit, every snide insult, every saucy aside.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

If you haven't yet memorized any of Monty Python's scripts, here's your chance. It's difficult to read this book without breaking into a broken English accent -- or at least without laughing aloud. Alarm luckless pedestrians as you gesticulate wildly with an halibut, learn how to determine whether a parrot is really dead or not...

"Nudge, nudge. Snap snap. Grin, grin, wink, wink, say no more".

From the Inside Flap

Forty-five classic episodes of the most entertaining writing to have gone into television anywhere. The minister of silly walks, the dead parrot, banter in a cheese shop - here is every silly, satirical skit, every snide insult, every saucy aside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even funny for those unfamiliar with the Python phenomenon
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2002
Verified Purchase
Even for folks unfamiliar with Monty Python and its peculiar and veddy English appeal, this book and its companion volume ("All The Words, Volume II") are both treasures. Everything is in here--EVERYTHING. Every single bloody word from every single bloody skit! It's a lark! It's a hoot! It's a howl! It's everything every Python aficionado ever dreamed of and more.
The book is especially useful for Python lovers who've perhaps had a little trouble deciphering the accents of our beloved lads. You name it, and it's in here with every single word, every pause, every "um, yes, well" and more. As the members of Python themselves would say:
"It's satire."
"No, it isn't. This is zany madcap humour."

Reading the scripts brings back memories of when Monty Python's Flying Circus was first aired on American TV. Even the bad sketches are better than 90% of the comedy sketches being done today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, though The Pythons use of ethnic jokes is more noticeable in print
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016
Verified Purchase
I love that this exists. For anyone who is interested in Monty Python, it is a fantastic resource to be able to read the scripts. As a teenager, I had this book, and reading it often cracked me up.

However, Monty Python was working in the early 1970s and some of their humor played on racial stereotypes in a way that now feels very out-dated. While watching the show, it was easy to overlook these racial stereotypes, because the show moved along so quickly.

But, in print, some of the racial stuff becomes much more prominent. There is a bit in which a lawyer talks about how he was late, because he couldn't find a kosher restaurant. Again, these are not deal-breakers, as Monty Python at least tends to point their satire at all people. Still, for readers in 2015, this book's material does contain some jokes that don't quite land well anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for reading in public
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017
I got the Set of MPFC on DVD as a present and just love it. Then I picked up a German Edition of "All the Words" Vol 1 somewhere - so it is in German - but I can reconstruct the whole scene in my head while reading it. Now I am going to buy Vol 2 (also in German.) It really is a great reference book. Even with the German translation you can get all the flair if you had watch the episodes.
The big problem is, I cannot read more then 1,5 pages without getting into uncontrollable laughter. Once I brought it to a doctors practice in order to read it while waiting...it was a disaster. The bottom line is, this book is NOT suitable for reading in public. Remains you of the "Killer Joke" which was not remitted because everyone who read it die from laughing, doesn't it? .
