Monty Python's Reunion Show

Featured Replies

Going off some of the publicity, even the Pythons themselves didnt seem too keen, and have admitted they are doing it for the money, which is fair enough.

Eric Idle. He's what's wrong.

Last show is being televised live on Gold, 20th July.

Read a couple of reviews written by people who said they were python fans. The general consensus was its shite

Interesting. Why?

A bunch of blokes in their early seventies, minus arguably the best one, performing forty odd year old material purely for the money to an audience of gimps pre-empting and shouting out almost every word - and this is shite? I refuse to believe that.

Rolling Stones?

Yeah, but I can't play guitar like Keith Richards, any c*nt can don a brown overcoat, pretend to smoke a fag and say "Norwegian Blue, wonderful plumage..."

 

Well, any c*nt that's been to prep school and Oxbridge.

Thing is I've no problem with this reunion. If folk want it, and want to shout out lines then good for them. It's no different than going to a concert. It just looked shite. Youri, you sound like one of them people who never sings along to songs on the radio and never watches anything more than once.

I'm worse, recently I don't even watch things once...I had to hastily set up an old tube telly for the European Cup Final t'other month, after my other one conked during the 'Made Of Stone' Premier on Channel 4 I didn't bother to replace it...

 

I've left it set up (in the boxroom) for the duration of the World Cup then I'm sticking it back in my electronics Purgatory.

 

That sounds joyless (and smug) as fuck, but I've honestly never been happier...

 

Was hard the first three weeks, but as there was no choice, I toughed it out.

I don't think Keith Richards can play guitar like Keith Richards any more. He wanders around the stage miming to Ronnie Woods.

On a toy saxophone too...

Oh aye, I had a relapse last night, used to watching the evening match, I was at a loose end so put Question Time on...

 

It reinforced my belief that fucking the telly off was a really good idea.

I love Python, I really do. But I reckon this was shite. It looks shite, and it sounds shite. So it must be shite. 

 

Not the same without Graham Chapman but at least he had a good send off:

its ont radio, too

I know, I tuned in the first week I had no telly...

 

They should advertise it thus...

 

''Just when you thought it couldn't be more annoying, Question Time, live on Radio ? Longer, Louder and with added feedback and interference.''
