Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus

Overview

Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus was made up of two 45-minute comedy specials created by Monty Python for West German television under WDR's production. These episodes aired for the first time in January and December 1972. Both were filmed entirely on location, primarily in Bavaria, and used film rather than videotape. The first special was performed in German, while the second was originally recorded in English and later dubbed into German for broadcast.
