John Cleese, one of the creative geniuses responsible for fathering the Monty Python comedy troupe, selects 18 of his favorite comic sketches and skits from the five-year U.K. run of Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1974), in the home release Monty Python's Flying Circus: John Cleese's Personal Best. Included here are the sketches "Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit," "Exploding Version of the Blue Danube," "Fish-Slapping Dance," "Upper-Class Twit of the Year," and 14 others. Also featured are original sketches made by the comedian himself expressly for this release. John Cleese's Personal Best is one in a series of six volumes, each containing the favorite segments of a different Monty Python troupe member. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
