Back in my teenage years this was one of my favourite books and it's battered and loved from reading over and over again when the shows were off air and I didn't have any videos. Absolutely brilliant stuff. (

All of the sketches from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Includes some screen captures from the shows. Absolutely hilarious stuff, and helpful sometimes if you can't quite figure out what people are saying. My copy is battered, dog-eared and much loved. A classic. (

It is quite amazing that a comedy sensation that often relies so much on slapstick can be almost as funny in script form. Though that may be because i can visualise much of what i am reading. If you are a new-comer to the Python phenomenon (and if so, where have you been for 30 years??) i suggest you watch a few episodes before cracking open this book. (
