Last November it was announced that the what remains of Monty Python would be reuniting for a one-off show (or rather, a series of one-off shows) at London's O2 arena for a live re-imagining of the greatest hits of the group, as performed by elderly people. And that day is nearly here! But, while you certainly won't be able to get tickets to see the show live in London, you might still be able to get you hands on some from your local cinema.
Yes, across the world, next Sunday (20th July, 2014), you too can watch from the comfort of your multiplex what may well be the last gathering of the group that proved once and for all that herrings are funny, and accountants are not. I'm on vacation for the next week, so I won't have the chance to mention this to you before the big day, so I urge you to go out right now and get tickets for this 3.5 hour event, broadcast either incredibly late at night or very early in the morning, depending on your region (I'm getting it mid-afternoon).
I'll see you on the other side, with a full review.
