Presented by Steve Martin, a collection of sketches from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
A good intro for those less familiar with the work of Monty Python. Covers some of their most well-known sketches.
However, by making this a 'Greatest Hits', you remove the continuity of the original Flying Circus episodes. There the skits may have seemed independent in their setting and plot but there was often a running joke through the whole episode and certain things linking the skits. Here we have none of that.
Furthermore, for those of us already familiar with the work of Monty Python, we'd rather watch Monty Python's Flying Circus in its entirety.
