Review: Mostly material from the TV series, but done well just the same; the pacing just zips right along. In particular, the immortal "Spam" sketch, which in retrospect seems almost underplayed in its TV version, here exploits stereophonic sound to almost beatific comic effect. Among the "new" items, "Gumby Theater" and Terry Jones' manic tone on "Be a Great Actor" are up to Python's usual high standards. Well worth the trouble, even if you think you've heard a lot of it before.
