Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series(TV) (1969-1974)The original surreal sketch comedy showcase for the Monty Python troupe. For more about Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series and the Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series Blu-ray release, see Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on January 8, 2020 where this Blu-ray release scored 5.0 out of 5. Directors: Ian MacNaughton, John Howard Davies Writers: Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese Starring: Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese Producers: Ian MacNaughton, John Howard Davies, Irving C. Saltzberg » See full cast & crew Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series Blu-ray, Video QualityMonty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Network with an AVC encoded 1080i transfer in 1.33:1. The insert booklet includes the following information on the restoration: Monty Python's Flying Circus was produced on 2" Quad tape as a mixture of studio sequences (shot on video cameras) interspersed with 16mm live action and animation film insert segments. The basis for this restoration were the earliest generation tapes - or direct copies of themm - with the studio sequences being re-graded and restored, removing video drop-out (horizontal lines) as well as scratching (multiple smaller horizontal lines) and any severe faults like off-lock (complete picture break up). Once restored, the programme then was up-scaled to High Definition.I frankly can't imagine any fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus being less than thrilled with the overall results displayed throughout this set. While the source elements may not provide huge opportunities for detail upticks in high definition, to my eyes there was an appreciable improvement in textures on clothing and even some of the fine line detail of Gilliam's animations. The palette is nicely suffused for the most part, though a few of the filmed inserts can look slightly wan. The 16mm sources for the filmed segments can mean that fine detail levels aren't always optimal, especially in some of the composited sequences that include some animated elements. There are a number of "baked in" anomalies, especially with regard to some of the video elements done in the studio, where passing issues like slight blurriness toward the edges of the frame can be spotted at times. There have been some questions posed in the Forum about the "playability" of this release, and the set I received had absolutely no 50i content whatsoever that I encountered. On a personal note, this set's technical credits list "additional restoration" of the film inserts done by R3Store Studios. I had the great pleasure of spending a morning at R3Store when I was visiting London last summer, and it was a delight to see a devoted team working on a variety of projects. They can certainly be proud of their contribution to this wonderful set. Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series Blu-ray, Audio QualityMonty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Circus features a nice sounding LPCM 2.0 mono track that encounters no really major hurdles across the four seasons of the show. There are distinct changes in fidelity when some of the material ventures from what I assume were more controlled environments in the studio to filmed segments, notably some outdoor material, but I personally didn't find anything hard to hear or understand. Musical elements sound decently full bodied as well. There are optional subtitles in a variety of languages available. Monty Python's Flying Circus: Other Seasons
