The same booklet was sold during the 'Monty Python's 1st Farewell Tour' in 1976 (and possibly even the Drury Lane gigs). If the reference material is anything to go by - we're working from faded photocopies here - then the original was one huge page, folded into an A5 booklet, which had a massive poster of a Gilliam-designed 'Bruce' and the lyrics to the 'Bruces Philosopher Song' on one side (exactly as reprinted in the Scrapbookofbrianofnazareth book in fact), while the other side featured the individual pages.

There's a few pages missing. We'll stick them in when we find the right box.

	Page 2 [Two chunks of text - the first looking like a hastily-typed document with crossings out, etc] Monty Python's Flying Circus An appreciation by Graham Greene Monty Python's Flying Circus is one of those rare programmes, which perfectly recaptures the feelings and aspirations of a generation, a programme which for so many of us today represents and identifies the spirit of its own ..do I have to go on...I see... the spirit of its own age. To me..oh, not this bit about the sheer brilliance...please....alright, alright.... To me its sheer brilliance, its uncannily perfect grasp of the humourous process sets it,,,yes I'm going on...sets it on a pedestal of achievment alongside...no I can't say this....what?...I don't care what you do..I can't say what I don't..aargh!..oh!..OWWWW!..alright, I'll finish the sentence..aaaaargh!..you bastards.....its uncannily perfect grasp of the humourous process sets it on a pedestal alongside ...yeeeeeeeowww!..alongside Hamlet and War and Peace...There, I've said it...you can't make me do any..Aieeeeee! O! Arrrr! Owwwweeeee, ORRH..no! no! anything but that...oh..oh. [a couple of words X'd out here] It would not be any..oh! Oh my god! it would not be any exaggeration to say that Monty Python is the...is the..I...is the [Wonky handwriting takes over here] greatest single force for good in the world today. g. Greene About the Programme by Biggles Hello! You know, flying over the Baltic in a twin-engined Dragon Rapide can be a bally lonely business, even with chums like Algy and Ginger prancing around, and its at times like that when a chap needs the zany, whacky, kooky, oddball humour of Monty Python to keep his hands on the joystick. Take this programme (which I'm sure you have, seeing as they're FREE 20p - Ed.) it's a deuced clever little number and I'm bally proud to have been asked to explain it. So here gies..bombs away..no..Algy love....Algy!..I meant it metaphorically... Algy! ..Al- oh well, teach the Swedes to be neutral. 1. Take the programme in the right hand (end of the right arm, right hand side of the body) and grip the other side firmly with the left hand (identical to the right hand, but on your left as you stand facing the wall), holding the joystick firm with your knees. 2. Keeping an eye on the altimeter (3rd one along, next to the vanity mirror), fold the programme carefully along the vertical performations, and then..Ginger get off!..then carefully fold again along the horizontal perforations. 3. Now you should have a neat, sizteen page souvineer programme, easy to read and easy to assemble, even when flying a Dragon Rap...Oh my God! What the hell's ALGY! Al-

	Page 6 [Photo of Graham Chapman holding inflatable dolphin, as per Series 3 "Then..." cutaway] GRAHAM CHAPMAN, 19 is the youngest member of the group. A modest, soft-spoken Dubliner, Graham feels that without him the show would have been a complete disaster. A brilliant and prolific writer, Graham wrote many of the I.T.M.A. Shows as well as most of EM Forster. Graham's favourite colour is off-white and his favourite heavy gas is Helium [Photo of Cleese in a suit of armour (possibly - difficult to tell with this photocopy)] JOHN CLEESE, 18 is even younger than Graham, the youngest of the group. John refers to himself as a comic genius, a manic wild-eyed wizard of wit, and one of the most popular men since Ghandi. His special role in Python, he feels, has been the complete integration of writing and performing into a viable and successful whole. John's favourite colour is fish, and his pet hate is insincerity. [Photo of Idle dressed as an angel.] ERIC IDLE, 13 is even younger than Graham Chapman and John Cleese. Eric is the real genius of the group. Much taller than a midget, Eric is, as he puts it, "little short of brilliant". Eric has brought to Python much of the anarchic humour and brilliantly surrealist performance which would have been so sadly lacking without him. Eric was born under Derry and Toms

	Page 7 [Photo of Terry Jones as the man who collects birdwatchers eggs with his hands tied together.] TERRY JONES, 12 is unbelievably young, and yet his mature judgement and fine singing voice have earned him the accolade of "the biggest thing since Virginia Woolf". terry has constantly refused offers for him to leave Python, preffering instead to devote his considerable talents to helping "the other, less privileged members of the cast". Terry likes steak au poivre and his ambition is to have a road named after him. [Photo of Terry Gilliam as Conrad Poohs] TERRY GILLIAM, 101/2 is the real baby of the group. He is so young and talented that it is almost presumption to mention his name with the others. "I think I can safely say that without me there would have been no Monty Python, no United Nations and quite possibly no end to the Second World War", says Terry disarmingly. terry has written over 40 symphonies and his greatest likes are his own cartoons and having his inside leg measured. [Photo of Michael Palin as DP Gumby.] MICHAEL PALIN, 4 is the Python superstar. A brilliant humourist, Michael is the vital creative influence without whom Python could not have survived. With an I.Q. of several thousand, Michael still finds time to look up people who owe him money. Michael drives a scarlet and gold Lamborghini or else hitchhikes.

	Page 8 [Black square where there would otherwise be a photo.] CAROL CLEVELAND, 19 is, along with Graham Chapman, the youngest member of the group. Carol met the group at Shepherd's Bush Police Station and has been with them ever since. Carole's (sic) favourite insect is the Angolan Termite and her starsign is Basil. [Photo of Neil Innes, as per cover of 'How Sweet To Be An Idiot'] NEIL INNES, over 70 is over 70, and has been playing the piano since before the Renaissance. Amongst his hits have been "Urban Spaceman", and amongst other people's hits have been "Tell Laura I Love Her", "Bird Dog" and "My Kind Of Guy". Neil's favourite colour is either green or blue, and his hobby is joinery. [Photo of a skeleton working a film camera.] IAN MACNAUGHTON who directed the film in this show and the original Python T.V. Shows, is one of the few youngsters on a pension. Ian hails from Helensburgh, near Glasgow - too far for most people to hear him - and spotted the Python team at a jumble sale. Ian's favourite colour is brown, with a little ice, and he's a keen Scottish Naturist.

	Page 9 [Photo of some Scotsmen, or soldiers, it's difficult to tell] The Python Story The MONTY PYTHON team met while serving with the R.A.F. in the last war. They were all attached to the now legendary and effeminate 243 squadron which flew over 400 difficult missions over Europe dropping tons of make-up to the Allied troops. After the war they all wore very loose suits, and met up again at an R.A.F. reunion in 1947. There the idea first came for "a whacky, new kind of show to take the lid off all the sacred cows of everything in Britain". After explaining their idea to the top brass at the BBC the boys were given jobs as commissionaires in the newly-extended car park at Alexandra Palace. But it wasn't long before "Doc" Chapman and Terry "Pud" Jones left the group to become robbers. The others stayed on at the BBC until 1953 when they all met up again at an R.A.F. reunion in Petts Wood. After a few creme-de-menthes at the bar, Eric "Tadger" Idle sat behind the piano and started to tap out the first notes of a tune that was to revolutionise the whole history of television. As the boys began to sing along, a tall distinguished figure at an opposite table began to sit up and listen. It was, none other than Hugh, now Sir Hugh Carleton - Greene, soon to become one of the most powerful figures in British post-war television. If he hadn't left in such a hurry as the boys began to sing, their careers might have been very different. In the late 50's Mike "Smudger" Palin and Terry "Please don't kick me when I'm Down and Out" Gilliam left the BBC to run an R.A.F benevolent home near Hove and it was here on a wintry day that a chance meeting of a few old service buddies was to lead to a breakthrough which was to influence so many millions of people in later years. But still Python was a long way off and it wasn't until a Bring Back Flogging Dinner Dance at Esher in 1966 that the boys came up with an idea that was to change everything. They decided to rejoin the R.A.F. Two glorious years followed in which the boys saw much of the active and varied life which lies in store for all R.A.F. recruits. After a moving passing-out ceremony beneath the tower at R.A.F Cranwell which has meant so much to generations of men who gave everything to fight for the freedom of Britain's skies, the boys left to do Monty Python. ------------------------------------------------------ I am interested in joining the R.A.F / Luftwaffe / R.C.M.P. for not less than 40 / 50 / 60 years I am over 21 and don't like girls much.

	Page 10 [Full-page illustration by Terry Gilliam of a Fu-Manchu-esque character seducing an innocent lady.] THE CAVES of PASSION by Eunice Von Papen [Boxed inset] THE STORY SO FAR Helga, a young attractive German student, has come over to a finishing school in England. As more and more of her is finishing she falls under the spell of the sinister Dr. Wang, the local Datsun dealer. At one of his pre-launch sales parties she meets Wing Lu, the South-East area Datsun spares co-ordinator. He declares his love for her, and says he can get her things on discount. George and Kruger, meanwhile, decide to press on with their plan to assassinate the royal family, declare England a republic, and really sort out a Prices & Incomes policy that worked.

	Page 11 What To Do After The Show 1. If you have been injured or maimed at all during the Show, go straight to hospital. Find a nurse or qualified doctor (make them produce a certificate if in doubt) and point out to them the places on your body where you have been injured or maimed. Do not fondle any part of the medical people, unless they specifically request you to do so, and unless there are washing facilities nearby. Under no circumstances should you go to the cinema first, or have a lobster bhuna with chapatis and mango chutney yum yum. 2. If you have been very seriously Maimed or Injured during the Show, you will want to get to hospital as soon as possible. This can be done on a bus. I don't know the numbers of the buses to the nearest hospital, but you could ask an usherette or the lady at the cash desk. She will also tell you where the nearest bus stop is. Try not to drop bloody on the theatre carpet. And do try not to rub curry into your wounds or even nice chapatis. 3. If your injuries are worse than at first you realised, you won't realise at first, but when you do realise, as soon as the curtain comes down, rush for the exit and be ill outside - you'll be doing your bit to help us keep these theatres nice and clean. 4. In case of severe injury that at first seems worse than it is and then later seems better, but is in fact even worse, don't waste any time, go straight to the Front of House Manger and try to explain it to him. He will sort it out for you, and incidentally he could also confirm what I was saying about Meat Vindaloo. 5. Should you by any chance have sustained no injuries during the Show, for heavens sake don't go round crowing about it. After all there's nothing so wonderful about not being injured - thousands of people go to the theatre every day without being injured or even bruised about the head. In fact, in a well-run, electrically-lit, modern theatre there is probably as much chance of you escaping physical injury as anywhere in the Free World * 8. Above all don't go running home and telling everybody how many people got injured. This Show is perfectly safe, and there is no real need to wear protective clothing at all. * Not including Madras.
