The Radio 4 broadcasts are available world-wide for a month after broadcast.

The celebrations will begin in September with a season at the British Film Institute, including a marathon screening of 45 back-to-back Flying Circus episodes across two days - each session lasting 12 hours.

The BFI will also show “oddities and rarities” from the archive including corporate videos, public information films, guest appearances, charity spots, and a chance to see some of Palin’s own 8mm film from the Python film sets.

A teaser for the Radio 4 programmes, also to be broadcast in September, said they will reveal “the extra unpleasant things” planned for Brave Sir Robin, Eric Idle’s character from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and “what John [Cleese]’s mother thought about her care home”.
