We're officially 50 today, & what a 50 years it's been. No better way to celebrate than making a world record of the largest gathering of people dressed as Gumbys with @TerryGilliam & @TVSanjeev!
What's been your favourite Monty Python moment from the past 50 years? #Python50
And now for something completely different... To celebrate #Python50 the BBC's photo archive team have unearthed and lovingly restored rare @MontyPython photos and documents:
Oddities and rarities from the Monty Python archive, including Michael Palin’s 8mm home movies from pre-production on The Life of Brian #Python50#BFISouthbank
On Sat 7 Sep take a trip through time with Gilliam, Palin, Cleese and a schoolboy named Kevin as we screen Time Bandits (+ Q&A) – a hilarious historical treat for all the family #Python50
“Oh good lord, naked man already!”
Get a sneak peek of Michael Palin's never-before-seen super 8mm film, from when the Pythons were making The Life of Brian, ahead of our #Python50 Oddities and Rarities screenings
