Monty Python's Flying Circus 40th anniversary

The first episode of seminal comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus, subtitled Whither Canada?, was broadcast just before 11pm on Sunday 5 October 1969. The Radio Times celebrated the launch with a spoof board game that set Monty Python in the context of previous satirical and late night shows. In the first programme sketches included 'famous deaths' presented by Mozart, the writing of the funniest and deadliest joke in the world, and an interview with Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson.
