Made-for-TV comedy drama which offers a fictionalised take on the religious controversy surrounding the release of Monty Python's 'The Life of Brian'. 'The Life of Brian', which took a humorous look at the life of a man who was born next door to Jesus Christ and on the same day, caused a storm of protest upon its release in 1979, with many accusing it of blasphemy. The feature offers its own version of the events that took place that year and the reaction of the Pythons, led by John Cleese (Darren Boyd) and Michael Palin (Charles Edwards), to bizarre incidents including the burning of effigies on their front lawns and a close encounter with a religious protestor who suffers from Tourette's. Ultimately, the religious protest leads Cleese and Palin to appear on the BBC and defend their film against the charges brought against it.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.   In 1979 Monty Python's Life of Brian caused controversy around the world. This is NOT their story... Holy Flying Circus is a fantastical re-imagining of the events leading up to Michael Palin and John Cleese appearing on the BBC's Friday Night Saturday Morning to defend the film against charges of blasphemy. Written by Tony Roche (In the Loop, The Thick of It) directed by Owen Harris (Misfits, Skins) and edited by Billy Sneddon (Four Lions, In the Loop) this is a bold and entertaining homage to one of the world's greatest comedy teams. This programme does not feature the Pythons and is not produced or endorsed by them.
