Season 3
And now for something completely different...
Synopsis
Monty Python's Flying Circus Season 3 — watch all episodes online on iFILM, 13 episodes, 1972. By the third series the Pythons had stopped treating the sketch format as a given.
Episode eight, "The Cycling Tour," follows a single character on his bicycle journey across Britain with no sketch breaks — one story, the full runtime. The rest of the season delivers the All-England Summarise Proust Competition, the Cheese Shop stand-off, Dennis Moore the lupin-stealing highwayman, and the Fish Slapping Dance. John Cleese is still in the cast: this is the last season with all six.
Season three is widely regarded as the show's creative peak — the most structurally daring, the most pointed in its satire. He left after this. Stream Monty Python's Flying Circus Season 3 online on iFILM.
