At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set on DVD! We've been huge fans of these rare pre-Python series series for years, and were overjoyed when selected episodes came out on DVD recently. Both sets were a bit disappointing, though - For the At Last the 1948 Show release, five "compilation" episodes were rescued from Swedish TV. It's wonderful to see 5 episodes' worth of this classic sketch comedy. However, a lot more material exists (roughly 5 more episodes worth), and it should have been on this set, except that those putting it together didn't seem to know it existed! Perhaps a volume 2 is in order. The Do Not Adjust Your Set release fared better, with nine episodes from the first series. The Christmas episode "Do Not Adjust Your Stocking" was missing, and so was the first episode of the second series, due to a rights dispute, but all in all a good introduction to this series.

This is the kind of release that makes me want to actually update this site. Heh.

Spamalot! Eric Idle's new Broadway musical, lovingly ripped-off from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, is winning rave reviews, as directed by Mike Nichols and starring Tim Curry, Hank Azaria, and David Hyde Pierce ... not to mention our own John Cleese as the voice of God. Here's a link to buy tickets. And another. In addition to the all-star cast album, Eric Idle will also be releasing an "official bootleg" album, "Eric Idle sings Spamalot," featuring his own versions of songs written for the show - including many that got cut out of it!

Out of the Trees has possibly been recovered! The legendary one-episode show, written by Graham Chapman and Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), long thought lost, has possibly been recovered. If so, it may be screened in Britain very soon, perhaps as part of this year's Missing Believed Wiped programme.

Ripping Yarns and Rutles 2 on DVD! Michael Palin and Terry Jones have lovingly restored every episode of their classic post-Python series Ripping Yarns for a new DVD. The DVD features commentary, laugh-track-less versions of the episodes, and an incredibly rare BBC play entitled Secrets, written by Palin and Jones and not seen in years. (The play later became the film Consuming Passions.) Eric's Idle's latest film, Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch is now available on DVD. A companion to his classic film The Rutles: All You Need is Cash, the film features outtakes from the original film, as well as all-new interviews with celebrities like Tom Hanks, David Bowie, Mike Nichols, Carrie Fisher and many more - talking about how they were affected by the world's greatest rock group. I had a chance to see this film with Idle present in 2003, and I must say, it's hilarious, and a good buy for any Rutle/Python fan.

Gilliam News: Tideland and the Brothers Grimm! Terry Gilliam's film The Brothers Grimm, starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger, should be coming out on DVD as I write this. The film was a disappointment even to fans, but after a long quiet spell, it looks like Hollywood is about to get a huge dose of Gilliam once again. Gilliam's new movie is "Tideland," and he'll be letting fans in on the story of the making of it at the official website.

HELP SAVE PYTHONET! Your donations will keep us alive. When I brought PythoNET back from the dead a few months ago, filling it with all new stuff, it didn't take long for the site to regain its old popularity, and more ... It makes me happy that so many people love and visit the site. We've gotten thousands and thousands of hits and exceeded 100 GB of traffic these past two months. Unfortunately, 100 GB of traffic is our limit. For these three months we've had to pay approximately 1200 dollars in overage charges. Which we simply can't afford. It costs a lot of money running a site like this, and Laurie Stevens, who pays for the site, is completely broke and simply can't do it anymore.

PythoNET's video section will be shut down temporarily - we can't afford to keep it online, and it's being shut down.

You can help prevent this. We need to buy a second server, and your donations to Laurie can help. Just a few dollars, or a couple of pounds, can keep PythoNET alive. Laurie Stevens also runs the Official Neil Innes site, and has done a great deal of good deeds for PythoNET and for other sites without asking anything in return. She doesn't know I'm asking this, but anything you can send her will help. Her email address is laurie@neilinnes.org - and you can paypal her money via that address. Your spare change could help keep this site alive.

We are looking for advertisers to post their ads on this site to provide funding to keep this site running. This is, as you've noticed, an incredibly popular site. If you're interested in advertising, let me know - my email address is tygerbug at yahoo.com.
