About: Monty Python's Flying Circus: Just the Words

Monty Python's Flying Circus: Just the Words is a two volume collection of the scripts for the TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus, published in 1989 on the 20th anniversary of the broadcast of the first episode. Volume 1 features the first 23 episodes, with Volume 2 containing the remaining 22. The books were edited by Roger Wilmut, who transcribed the dialogue from the original programmes, minus the animation sequences. Episodes 3 and 5 of the fourth series are missing some material from their original 1974 broadcast, as they were transcribed from the 1976 edited repeat versions. Both volumes contain black and white stills taken from videotapes of the series. The books were reissued in paperback as one volume.
