One man rewrites Python history from his living room throne of lies.
Monty Python's Personal Best is a miniseries of six one-hour specials, each showcasing the contributions of a particular Monty Python member. From his lavish home, Jones discusses how he conceived Monty Python as a showcase for his own considerable talents, how he reluctantly let the other members join and that 'Monty Python' is an anagram of 'Terry Jones'. Several sketches are personally (and often inaccurately) introduced by Jones.
Writing
Jones' fake introductions are funnier than some original sketches.
Acting
His commitment to playing himself as insufferable genius.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Each Python's 'Personal Best' was filmed in their actual home, making Jones' lavish setting part of the character.
