The Complete Ripping Yarns
During a brief break-up of the Python gang in the mid to late 70s, BBC producer Terry Hughes approached Michael Palin and asked him to come up with a new series. Inspired by old Boy's Own Annuals, he and fellow Python Terry Jones wrote 'Tomkinson's Schooldays', a scathing and surreal satire on public schools - the Beeb agreed to a series. This collection includes all nine episodes and watch out for a classic Cleese cameo in 'Golden Gordon'.
