Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones star in this innovative and groundbreaking series which includes 19 of their best sketches. From the memorable 'Nudge Nudge Wink Wink' to the celebrated 'Dead Parrot Sketch', there’s also the hairdresser with a fear of hair who really wanted to be a lumberjack in 'Barber Shop Sketch' and the 'Lumberjack Song'. Also featuring among many timeless classics are leading figures from the Third Reich, who fetch up in a B&B in the West Country, and the famous composer who only has one shed but did once think of getting a second... Vintage Beeb: classic albums first available as BBC LPs, now reissued on CD and as downloads.

Reviews

A delight to leaf through, this is - like Sykes himself - a real class act

—— Film Review

Entertaining and indisputably personal account

—— MOJO

Three cheers for the Hurdy Gurdy man for approaching his autobiography as a serious book rather than a quick cash-in or headline grabbing confessional...a pleasing trip back to a time, not so long ago, when every gentle heart believed peace was a real possibility

—— The Telegraph

An unqualified delight

—— The Observer

Touching, illuminating and frank

—— The New York Times

Spellbinding autobiography

—— Daily Mail

An extraordinary read

—— Daily Express

This is a really marvellous book, the most uninhibitedly intimate portrayal ever of the short, hard life and overall musical triumph of Lady Day...With Billie vividly reflects the chaos that Billie Holiday was born into and only rarely escaped from
